Steph Curry paced Golden State offensively as he scored 23 points on 7-of-18 shooting including 2-of-9 from 3-point range plus 7-of-7 at the free throw line.

NBA Betting Trends
Golden State
The Warriors are 3-1-2 ATS in their last six road games. Golden State is 0-3-2 ATS in its last five Monday games.
New Orleans
The Pelicans are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 home games. New Orleans is 8-0 ATS in its last eight Monday games.
Prediction:
Golden State looks all out of sync and has not incorporated its new faces well thus far including D’Angelo Russell, who saw himself ejected from Sunday’s game. The Pelicans on the other hand have played the Raptors on the road into overtime and only faltered in the fourth quarter at Houston despite being without Jrue Holiday. With or without Holiday, I like what we’re seeing out of New Orleans and I don’t really feel like making a trust play on the Warriors one day after being thoroughly dominated.
