Premium Pick

New Orleans is 6-20 straight up and 9-16-1 ATS, and the Pelicans are on a current 11-game losing streak while showing no signs of improvement. No one expected much with all the injuries, including to top draft pick Zion Williamson, but the Pelicans can't seem to do anything right, including playing defense as they allow teams a .477 shooting percentage overall and .376 on 3-pointers. Orlando has covered the number its last four road games, and the Magic is 4-1 ATS its last five games against teams with losing records and 5-1-1 ATS this season after losing by at least 10 points its previous game. New Orleans is 7-19-1 ATS its last 27 games with one day of rest and 1-9-1 ATS its last 11 games overall, and the Pelicans have not covered the spread their last four home contests. Take the Magic.
