Premium Pick

Indiana is getting healthy, off a 95-93 loss to the defending champion Spurs as a +5 dog, part of a 3-1 ATS run. The Pacers are 4-0 ATS following a loss and face a stumbling and ailing New Orleans squad. Facing a three-game skid heading into the All-Star break, the Pelicans could again be without star Anthony Davis. New Orleans had won seven of nine, but the Pelicans suffered a 35-point loss to Chicago on Saturday when Davis exited with a sprained right shoulder. New Orleans is 2-4 without Davis, who averages 24.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 2.7 blocked shots. Three of those four losses have come against sub-.500 teams. The Pelicans are also missing Jrue Holiday and Ryan Anderson, their third and fourth-leading scorers. Holiday is ailing with a stress reaction in his leg and is not expected back until after the All-Star break, while Anderson is out with an elbow injury. The Pelicans are 3-8 ATS against a team with a winning percentage below .400. And when these teams face each other, the Pacers are 6-0 ATS, including 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in New Orleans. Play Indiana.
