New Orleans at Golden State

The Golden State Warriors made a lot of noise last year, and things looked bright for them this season. They have, however, gotten off to a slow start to straddle the .500 mark at just 13-12. Injuries have played a role, but overall this team defended much better a year ago. They have to get back to making a better effort on the defensive end, and I think that will start tonight. New Orleans likes to play physical inside, and the last meeting saw these teams fall shy of the total posted here. The Pelicans have played four of their last five vs. the West to the UNDER, while Golden State is now 17-5 to the UNDER when facing the NBA Southwest, including five of their last seven vs. New Orleans. Take the UNDER.
