The Hawks lost their only road game of the season so far (at Cleveland), but I think they match up well against this Pelicans team. New Orleans has the 26th worst offensive efficiency rating in the league while Atlanta has the fifth-best defensive efficiency score, allowing only 92.8 points per 100 possessions.

The Pels are struggling without injured forward Zion Williamson, and without him, they do not have enough star power to compete with Trey Young and the rest of the Hawks.

Pelicans are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. Pelicans are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. Hawks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. Hawks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Hawks are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in New Orleans. Hawks are 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

10* play on Atlanta Hawks.
