This is a tough matchup for Memphis, playing its second straight road contest. Young Memphis is #26 in the NBA defensively in points surrendered, #16 in field goal shooting allowed, and #25 at defending beyond the arc. They head to New Orleans, a team making a playoff push on an impressive 12-6 SU/14-3-1 ATS run. New Orleans got a huge boost last week when No. 1 overall draft pick Zion Williamson made his debut after recovering from knee surgery. He has played well in each of his four games and New Orleans is 32-18 ATS after two or more consecutive victories. New Orleans won 126-116 at Memphis when they met two weeks ago in the Pelicans' final game before Williamson's debut, so back home court. Play New Orleans.
