Pelicans at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 123, Pelicans 117
Moneyline
PASS.
There is minimal value on the Warriors (-400) to continue their winning streak on Monday.
Against the spread
BET PELICANS +9.5 (-115).
The Pelicans are 4-2 ATS over their last 6 games, including 2-1 ATS as underdogs during that span. Simply put, this spread is too wide to bet against them. 4 of their 6 losses this season have come by 6 or fewer points, and they are getting close to full health with their key players.
While the Warriors have played well on their winning streak, they narrowly got past the Magic on Saturday, and 3 of their last 6 wins have come by 7 or fewer points. They are 0-2 ATS as 4.5-plus-point favorites.
Over/Under
BET OVER 232.5 (-110).
The Pelicans have hit the Over in 3 of their last 4 games and in 4 of their last 6. They have scored at least 120 points in 5 of their last 6 games and at least 119 in 8 of their 10 games this season. They have allowed at least 134 in 2 of their last 4.
The Warriors have hit the Over in 3 of their last 4 and 6 of their last 8. They have scored at least 120 points in 3 of their last 4 and at least 119 in 6 of their last 8 and have allowed at least 113 in 6 of their 10 total games.
