Nets Spotlight
The Brooklyn Nets just handled their business in Orlando in their last game, even covering the 10-point spread. They continue their road trip into New Orleans, where the over has hit in 13 of their last 14 meetings. They have been averaging 123 points per game in their last 10 meetings with New Orleans too. In their last five games, the Nets are averaging 109 points per game, and have been shooting 47% from the field.
Pelicans Spotlight
The New Orleans Pelicans keep stinking it up, losing their 8th straight game, this time to the lowly Oklahoma City Thunder, despite being 4-point favorites. The over has been trending in this series, but the under has hit in five straight games for the Pelicans, and that can be attributed to their atrocious shooting, shooting just 38% from the field in their last five games.
Final Say
The over has been extremely profitable in this series, but those were different days when New Orleans could actually put up points. They are in shambles at the moment, and without Brandon Ingram, they probably won’t be able to hold up their end of the scoring. Brooklyn actually plays some defense on the road, ranking 11th in points allowed, 11th in field goal percentage, and 2nd at defending the deep ball. The under has hit in 15 of the Nets last 20 games. Rolling with this total to stay under the climbing threshold.
Pick: Under 215 Total Points
