Premium Pick

New Orleans shot 42% in last night's loss at Charlotte and now heads to rested Washington, so this is a tough situational spot for the visitors.  New Orleans is on a 1-4 SU, 0-3-2 ATS run and the Pelicans are 16-34-1 ATS on the road against a team with a losing home record. This is also the fourth road game in the last five contests for New Orleans and the Pelicans are 1-5-2 ATS when playing on no days rest. Washington is home and rested, not having played since Wednesday when they whipped the Hawks 114-97. Washington made 13 of 24 shots from beyond the arc. The Wizards are 4-0 ATS when playing on two days rest and 7-1 ATS against the Western Conference. Washington also gets a boost as guard Andre Miller is expected to make his club debut. When these teams meet the Pelicans are 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings, so all signs point to a big win by the home team. Play Washington.
