NBA Betting Trends

New Orleans

The Pelicans are 7-2-1 against the spread in their last 10 road games and 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games overall.

Chicago

The Bulls are 17-37 against the spread in their last 54 home games and 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog.

Prediction:

The Pelicans won the first meeting back on Jan. 8, 123-108. That was at home, but I would expect a similar result tonight. New Orleans has lost its last two, but that came against the Rockets and Bucks. The Bulls are not that team and they are not full strength. The Pelicans should be able to put up solid offensive numbers tonight behind the likes of Ingram and Williamson. New Orleans should get back on track tonight against a poor team.

NBA Prediction: New Orleans Pelicans -4.5
