San Antonio caught the Lakers playing their third game in four nights and without injured Anthony Davis and the Spurs snapped their 18-game losing streak 129-115 on Friday. Still no time for the Spurs to get giddy over the win as New Orleans has won and covered the past six meetings, including 121-106 on Dec. 1. The Pelicans are 15-10-1 ATS this season and they are on a current three-game win streak after defeating Charlotte 112-107 on Friday. Jonas Valanciunas had 29 points and Zion Williamson added 21 points for New Orleans, which is 10-4 ATS its past 14 games versus teams with losing records and 17-7 ATS against opponents with below .400 winning percentages. The Spurs are 2-14 ATS after scoring more than 125 points their previous game and 19-39 ATS as underdogs. New Orleans is 8-2 ATS playing with one day of rest. Take the Pelicans.
