Premium Pick

New Orleans is 8-32 overall, and on the road they are 3-16 SU and 6-13 ATS. They have no business being favored over any team on the road — and I say "favored" because the standard spread for any home court team in the NBA is three points. With this line, the oddsmaker is essentially saying that the Pels would be favored if this game was played on a neutral court. New Orleans has -9 scoring margin on the season, and that sinks to -13.6 PPG on the road. The Bulls are shooting 50% in their past five games, and outscoring opponents by 5.8 PPG. They should be able to put one in the win column here. Make the play on Chicago.

Premium Pick

New Orleans is 12-7-1 ATS and Chicago is 6-13-1 ATS this season and the Pelicans have won and covered the past three meetings although this is the first one this season. The Pelicans have won five of seven and two in a row following a 121-106 victory over San Antonio on Friday night. Jonas Valanciunas had 24 points and New Orleans shot nearly 50 percent. The Bulls have lost eight of 10 although they managed to pull out a 120-113 win over Milwaukee in overtime on Thursday. Don't expect the Bulls to put together two good performances in a row. The Pelicans are 8-2 ATS their past 10 games and 21-8-1 ATS their past 30 games against teams with below .400 winning percentages. Take the Pelicans.
