Pelicans vs Pacers Best Picks and Prediction
The Pelicans have had recent difficulties and have had mixed results in their last four matches. They are performing well offensively, scoring north of 110 points per game in their last 3 clashes.
They are highly active on the offensive glass and have done a fantastic job finding the open man, which will hold them in good stead to score in this game. You can bank on New Orleans to cover the spread as the Pacers' shoddy defensive play is going to make it difficult for them to contain the Pelicans.
Pick: Pelicans -5 (-110)
