Orlando at New Orleans

Premium Pick

New Orleans finally is home for the first time since Feb. 10 and the Pelicans need to take advantage of home court advantage as they battle to get a play-in spot for the playoffs. Orlando is more looking forward to the lottery and the NBA Draft and the Magic haven't covered their past three games, including 121-108 against Indiana on Saturday when they shot only 38.9 percent and the game before the Magic shot 41.1 percent versus Detroit, but pulled out a win over the lowly Pistons. The Pelicans look to avenge a 123-110 loss in the only meeting this season when they were outscored 35-19 in the fourth period. This is an important game for New Orleans as it has to go back on the road for three more games after this one. Play the Pelicans.
