ASA NBA play on OVER 225 New Orleans Pelicans at San Antonio Spurs, 7PM ET - These two teams have one common denominator and that's that both defenses aren’t good. The Spurs allow opponents to hit 46.8% of their field goal attempts (19th) and give up 1.145-points per possession (18th). In their most recent 5 games the Spurs defense has been even worse, allowing 1.253PPP which is 2nd most in the NBA. For the season the Pelicans defense has been equally as bad as the Spurs, if not worse. New Orleans has the worst FG% defense in the league allowing 48.7% while giving up 1.186-points per possession. In their most recent 5 games the Pels are allowing an average of 121PPG. The Pelicans have below average offensive numbers but have more injured starter minutes lost than any other team in the NBA. They put up 126 against the Suns two games ago with 4/5 starters back in the lineup. Last night they scored 109 against a very good OKC defense. San Antonio is near league average or slightly below in most offensive categories. For this game to get to 226 we need ‘average’ from both teams as the league average of points scored in an NBA game is 226. With two below average defenses these teams should get to this number rather easily.
