New Orleans at Memphis

The New Orleans Pelicans are living a nightmare as they sit in last place in the NBA Western Conference with an ugly 4-15 mark to start the season. New Orleans has done a reasonably good job pacing the games and allowing just 115ppg, but the offense has not pulled its share of the load as the Pelicans are posting just 103ppg. Sometimes, good teams face a bad one and lose their intensity; other times, they don't have a favorable matchup when looking at the line. The Pelicans have a 54-40 SU record vs Memphis in the last 94 meetings, covering over 53% of those. I like New Orleans in this one.
