New Orleans at San Antonio

This is a tough spot for New Orleans. The Pelicans like to run up-and-down the court, play little defense and just out-score their opponents. That typically is not a good strategy vs. San Antonio. The Pelicans are allowing 122 points per game and San Antonio is a willing team on the defensive end and has started the season 5-2. The Spurs allow just 101.3 ppg in their last three and have scored 108 or more in six of their seven contests. You have to play defense to beat the Spurs, especially on their home court. Lay the points on San Antonio.
