The Hornets (-190) are a little too risky for my liking at this price, especially since the Pelicans (+160) can very easily win this game outright.
Against the spread (ATS)
The PELICANS +5 (-115) have been cover kings lately, going 6-1 ATS across the past seven outings, and they’re 4-0 ATS as an underdog while winning two of those games outright. They’re playing good basketball right now, even without Williamson in their frontcourt.
