New Orleans looks to bounce back from a heartbreaking overtime loss on Friday when Russell Westbrook was fouled with one second left and made two free throws to clinch it for the Wizards. New York is on a hot streak, but still is only a tiny favorite in this matchup as the Pelicans are out to avenge a 116-106 loss to the Knicks on Wednesday. The Knicks will be without Alec Burks, who scored 21 points against the Pelicans in the last meeting, due to COVID-19 protocols. New Orleans still has the edge on offense, hitting 48.1% of its shots overall and 34.9% on 3-pointers while averaging 114.5 points per game. Play the Pelicans.
