New Orleans at San Antonio

New Orleans is on a six-game win streak, but it has been against bad teams. The Pelicans have been the talk of the NBA this week after Anthony Davis had 53 points, 18 rebounds and five blocks in a 125-116 win over Phoenix on Monday. They are without center DeMarcus Cousins, out for the season with an Achilles injury, and step up in competition for a change. New Orleans is second to last in the NBA in points allowed, #19 in free throw shooting. San Antonio is in a great situational spot, finally home from their annual rodeo road trip. They come off a 110-94 win at Cleveland and begin a three-game homestand. The Spurs are #12 in free throw shooting and #1 in defense allowing 98.8 points per game. The home team is 21-6 ATS when these teams clash, with the Pelicans 7-15 ATS at the Alamodome. Back San Antonio.
