Premium Pick

The New Orleans Pelicans have looked scary good in their three playoff wins vs. Portland. They came in as a sixth seed, and have taken three straight vs. the third seeded Trail Blazers. They are on a serious roll, and have won and covered eight straight, and teams in the NBA with a 3-0 series lead have gone on to win the series 127 times in 127 tries. The Portland guard tandem of Lillard and McCollum have really had to work for everything they have, and it just has not been enough. There have been no answers for Holliday, Davis, and Mirotic, who have combined to deliver 73 points and 26 rebounds per game. Teams in the first round up in a series 3-0, cover 62.2% of the time in Game 4. Play on New Orleans.
