Stephen Nover's NBA Situational Game of the Month
(NBA) New Orleans vs. Orlando,
Money Line: -119.00 New Orleans (Away)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -119.00 New Orleans (Away)
Result: Loss
The Pelicans should be highly motivated to beat the Magic after an embarrassing, 124-98, home loss to the Heat this past Wednesday.
The 16-28 Magic are playing their first home game in more than two weeks after concluding a five-game road trip that finished this past Sunday with a 119-116 loss to the Nuggets. Being idle for five days is being off for too long. So I don't expect the Magic to be sharp.
New Orleans is at its best against bad team teams. The Pelicans are 19-7-1 (73 percent) ATS versus foes with a winning percentage below .400. They have covered the past five times against sub .500 opponents.
The Pelicans are the superior team even without injured Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram and this spot sets up well for them.
