Pelicans at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 121, Warriors 115

Moneyline

The PELICANS (-116) are a solid favorite on the road against the shorthanded Warriors (-102). Golden State continues to play without Green, who is making his way back from a suspension and into game shape. CP3 is also sidelined with a longer term injury, so the team is in a bit of flux right now.

New Orleans is playing the better basketball lately, winning 5 of the past 6 games SU, while Golden State has been victorious in just 2 of the previous 7 outings.

Against the spread

The PELICANS -1 (-110) are a slightly better value than playing the moneyline. The only reason you would take the moneyline over the spread is if you firmly believe New Orleans is going to win, but by just 1 point. It would be a push laying the point, while you would cash on the moneyline. That's the only difference between the 2 bets.

Over/Under

OVER 234 (-110) is the way to go despite the trends for the Pelicans lately.

The Under has hit in 3 of the past 4 games for New Orleans. And while the Under has dominated in this series, too, going 6-2 in the past 8 meetings, the total did go high in the battle in New Orleans earlier this season on Oct. 30. The results this season are far more important than previous seasons where the personnel has changed.

For Golden State, the Over has hit in 4 of the past 5 games and 7 of the past 10 outings at home while going 6-2 in the past 8 against teams from the Western Conference.
