Match Predict – Handicap (-7.5) for Pelicans
This season, the Pelicans have beaten their opponent twice on the road in their head-to-head encounters. This time, Willie Green’s squad shouldn’t have any trouble scoring points with the support of their fans either. Even in Williamson’s absence.
Total Points Under 229
The New Orleans Pelicans are averaging 117 points in home games, while the San Antonio Spurs are averaging 111 away. As a rule, the two teams have a high-scoring streak in their head-to-head encounters. However, without Williamson, the Pelicans are unlikely to load the visitors’ basket decently.
