Golden State at New Orleans

The Golden State Warriors are 8-6, and surely would have hoped for a better start. I do think there is line value based on that, and the fact that they were without Stephen Curry for three games. Those three games all resulted in losses, so the Warriors are actually 8-3 with Curry in the line up. Golden State has not shaken the label of being a team that likes to get up and down the court, and play little defense. This time is around, they're  comprised differently, holding 9 of 14 opponents under the century mark. New Orleans is not in a hurry, and they play very well on the defensive end, especially at home. Their seven home games have seen their opponent top the century mark just one time so far this season. This is a team that has played to a total at home of 200 or more 43 times since the start of the 2008 season, and the UNDER is 31-12 in those 43 games. The Warriors take it personally after suffering a big double-digit loss at home, and have come back to go 8-0 ATS in their next game in the last eight. The Pelicans are just 1-7 ATS when facing a team that allowed 100+ in their previous game. The Warriors own six straight covers here, and have the closer in a tight game. Play Golden State on the moneyline, and take the UNDER.
