The Pelicans have been playing well again and they are strong on the road, as they are favored in this spot for a reason. This is a bad back to back spot for the Lakers who could not get it done versus the Nuggets last night. Take the better team to win and cover in this spot as the Pelicans are 17-10 straight up this season as the favorite. The Lakers are 1-6 ATS this season when playing on back-to-back days.

New Orleans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. New Orleans are 11-4 SU in their last 15 games on the road.
