Brooklyn at New Orleans

New Orleans comes off a 118-98 win over Orlando, but the Pelicans have lost five of their last eight games and are being asked to cover a big number again while the underdog has covered the spread the last five meetings. The Pelicans won the first meeting 104-95 on Jan. 12 as Tyreke Evans scored 29 points and Brook Lopez led the Nets with 20 points. Anthony Davis is probable for tonight's game with a hand injury he suffered his last game. Lopez scored 28 points in Brooklyn's loss to Toronto on Tuesday as the Nets couldn't overcome the Raptors' .522 shooting percentage. New Orleans is laying too many points in this matchup, so play the Nets.
