Like Phoenix, I feel confident the Warriors are getting too much respect tonight. New Orleans handled its business last night against Sacramento, shooting 55% from three-point range in a closely-contested win. The Pelicans appear to have finally found their footing without Brandon Ingram on the court, utilizing the three-ball more often in his absence. They still hustle and grind inside (7th in rim FG%), too. The Warriors rank 23rd in opponent rim FG% and their opponents attempt nearly 41 percent of their shot attempts from three, so I feel confident the Pels will be comfortable attacking the GSW defense.

Golden State ranks dead last in the NBA in turnover percentage this month, while New Orleans ranks third in steals per game this season. NOLA also ranks 1st in the NBA in opponent 3PT% this season.

The Warriors are 12-20 ATS as a home favorite this season. This matchup is tricky for them, too. I'll take the points with the Pels this evening!
