Brooklyn at New Orleans

Premium Pick

The Brooklyn Nets won just 20 games in each of the past two seasons. With 12 wins thus far they don't appear to be heading for many more this season. That appearance has put them on the right side of a lot of bets, as Brooklyn is a stealthy 16-6-2 ATS in their last 24 games. They have a scoring margin of just -2 points per game in the 24 contests, and are surely undervalued in this one vs. New Orleans. Brooklyn is also 16-3 ATS in their last 19 as a pick-em or dog. New Orleans and their twin towers can't seem to get over the hump at 17-16 on the season. New Orleans has not proven worthy as a big chalk at 0-3 ATS from -7.5 and up, and this is the biggest line they will tackle so far on the season, and it is too high. Grab the big points on Brooklyn.
