There is all kinds of bad news for New Orleans in this one - they're a long way from home and are banged up with injuries. The Pelicans are playing the second night of a back-to-back and are unsure of the status of star Anthony Davis after he was forced to miss a 74-72 loss at Phoenix on Thursday with a sprained left ankle suffered in the pregame shootaround. Making matters worse, Omer Asik - averaging 10.0 rebounds - could be out after suffering a calf strain in Phoenix. The Pelicans are 6-24-1 ATS after allowing less than 75 points in their previous game. All of which is bad news against a Golden State team that is tops in the NBA in points scored, assists and field goal shooting defense. The Warriors have followed up a 19-game winning streak at Oracle Arena with their current 10-game run. They're averaging a league-high 113.5 points per game at home with a 15.3 average margin of victory. The Warriors are 36-16-2 ATS in their last 54 home games and hold all the cards. Lay the points on Golden State.
