Washington at New Orleans

New Orleans continues its nightmare season without Zion Williamson and its record dropped to 3-16 after a 110-96 defeat against Minnesota on Monday while shooting just 42 percent. The Pelicans are 7-12 ATS while Washington is 10-7 ATS and the Wizards are enjoying their best season in several years as they are a half-game out of first in the Southeast Division. The Wizards won the previous meeting 105-100 on Nov. 15 and they do come off a 109-103 loss to Charlotte on Monday due to a cold-shooting .387 field goal percentage. Jonas Vaanciunas (knee) is questionable for the Pelicans, who are 3-7 ATS following a loss, 2-6 ATS overall versus teams with winning records. Washington is 11-3 ATS the past 14 meetings at New Orleans and 12-4-1 ATS following a loss, dating to last season. Take the Wizards as a Max Play.
