Denver is playing its third road game in four days, and it comes off a big win at Brooklyn, putting it in a slight letdown situation for this game. New Orleans had won two straight before going to Philadelphia and losing 117-107 on Tuesday, even while shooting nearly 50%. Nickell Alexander-Walker scored 31 points, and Willy Hernangomez added 29 for the Pelicans against the 76ers. The Nuggets had to go to overtime to win the first meeting in December, and the Pelicans are 7-3 ATS the last 10 meetings. Denver hasn't covered the spread in its last six games while New Orleans is 6-2-1 ATS in its last nine games. The Nuggets are 2-5 ATS in their last seven when playing with one day of rest, and the Pelicans have covered five of six versus teams with winning records. Take the Pelicans for a Max Play.
