NBA Pacers/Pels
(NBA) Indiana vs. New Orleans,
Point Spread: -2.50 | -110.00 New Orleans (Home)
Result: Win
Play: New Orleans Pelicans
Rating: 8*

The New Orleans Pelicans are coming off a solid performance in a 113-109 home loss to Golden State, and they've picked up five of their eight wins on the season home at Smoothie King Center. "My message to them was we have to play this well against every team," Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry told reporters after the defeat.

The Indiana Pacers are in a very rough spot after losing 95-89 at Miami last night. The Pacers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games playing on no rest and 1-10 ATS in their last 11 Thursday games while the Pels are 5-1 ATS in their last six Thursday games. Indiana is just 3-9 SU and ATS on the road this season, and I like the Pels in this matchup.
