Pacers vs Pelicans (3-1-24) NBA Expert Predictions, Picks and Best Bets
The Indiana Pacers visit the New Orleans Pelicans Pelicans 5 and a half Point favorites minus 210 on the money line the total 238 and a half these teams played on Wednesday the Pelicans at um in Indiana win the game 123 to 114 pretty close here but we do switch
Venues tonight will be in New Orleans shark what do you think of this matchup which team do you think should be favored and why yeah second official play here 8 o00 smoothie Kings Center on this Friday taking New Orleans at minus five and a half and oops you said it home and home
Situation which really is great handicapping stuff it’s just like a playoff series you play one team in their gym and then you go on the road and the situation reverses and you get very transparent motivation it’s very rare the same team covers in these back-to-back home atome spots and we did
Have Indiana or I did at least to cover the other night on Wednesday night at home and they did 123 to 114 on a minus five now the line moves over to New Orleans minus three and a half catching two points of Market steam to minus five
And a half this is heavy heavy stuff and I truly think these teams are the type of teams that will zigzag Road versus home to margin gaps and if you look at New Orleans coming off of a road non cover in the first game at home they are
4-1 ATS so if they lose on the road they do come home with extra Focus they’ve also been I would I actually surprisingly lackluster at home in recent history 6-9 ATS last 15 0 and3 last three home against the East so I like the Buy Low for both of those
Because New Orleans should not be 0 and3 last three against the east at home and Indiana is 3 and5 ATS at the West much better home team Revenge game huge motivation schedule setting us up for as I said a playoff atmosphere in this home at home love New Orleans tonight minus
Five and a half one unit this is a sneaky fun game if you didn’t get a chance to watch wend day’s matchup go ahead this afternoon pull it up and watch that get your eyes on this game two teams that play different styles of basketball that mesh in really
Interesting ways I agree New Orleans the better team here they’re at home I think they can kind of dictate how this matchup looks Junior you started a parlay earlier with Boston Celtics first half money line and I guess since it’s the last game people might know how you’re going to close
It yeah I was very tempted to go uh first half first half money line since like I mentioned New Orleans uh and Boston are the two best first half teams in the league and actually if you uh convert those splits to home games the Pelicans are actually the number one
First half home team in the NBA in terms of net rating Boston’s number two but it’s very close the point is um this is a great spot for the Pelicans like uh shy mentioned Revenge game and I think that um like noop said uh the first game
Was exciting but one of the keys to the first game which is why I think the Pelicans lost is that yonas only played Seven Minutes in that game and if you watch the way that the Pelicans offense is kind of operating with this point Zion thing that’s been working for them
They usually clear out one side and run a pick and roll with Giannis and Zion and you got two brick walls coming at you downhill uh because unlike most pick and rolles cuz like you see how people guard Z they stand like 5et off of him
They don’t care New Orleans still runs a pick and roll where they’re setting the pick inside inside the three-point line like it’s 1985 and it works so when you take that Dynamic out of their team which is basically their number one offensive option they’re just not going to be the
Same you bring that back into to the fold obviously this is a different team and they they also need uh yonas for rebounding purposes so it it’s more than just uh it put their offense out of whack it it’s it’s defensively offensively you Jonas doesn’t get nearly
As enough credit uh even his defensive wind share metrics uh lead the team he leads the team in Wind shares totally even though Brandon Ingram CJ McCullum and um and uh Zion get all the credit so uh not to be long-winded about Jonas my boy the former Toronto Raptor but with
Jonas back in the lineup them back at home I like him on the money line I’m not to say that I don’t trust him on the spread cuz I do think sharp uh shark is on the right side this uh the the problem that I have with laying the
Points in this spot is the three-point differential Indiana’s variance from three can get kind of wild whereas New Orleans is always kind of the same they don’t really make or take or make that many threes so that that’s the thing that kept me away from the spread is it’s the Indiana three-point
Variance yeah I I like that I like your first half money line parlay idea I think I’m just going to do that anyway but Junior closes out his parlay here officially he’s got Boston Celtics first half money line is going to put it with the Pelicans full game money line here
That gets you to round even odds maybe a little bit of juice there but a solid look and Pelicans minus half minus 5 and a half for shark there likes the spot for them Let’s [Applause] It’s good
