(NBA) Washington vs. New Orleans, 02/14/2024 8:00 PM, Score: 126 - 133
Total: 236.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
I'm going to use the Zig-Zag method on this total. Both the Wizards and Pelicans are off strong defensive performances where their offenses were held in check. 

Look for the opposite to happen in this matchup, the team's final game before the All-Star break. 

Before holding the Mavericks to 112 points in their last game, the Wizards had allowed an average of 126.5 points in their past four contests.
Washington is the second-worst defensive team in the NBA giving up 123.7 points a game.

New Orleans ranks in the top-nine in field goal percentage and 3-point percentage. If you discount a 107-83 loss to the Thunder, the Pelicans are averaging 133 points during their past four home games. 

This is just the Pelicans' second home game since Jan. 26. The Pelicans want to provide a show to their fans entering All-Star break. The Wizards are likely to accommodate them since they play at the fastest pace in the NBA.
