Starting with the Carolina game between Hornets and Pelicans, the first direct encounter between the two teams this season.
Hornets defeated Kings in a few days ago but did not impress, “kings” being one of the weakest teams on the move, and the field difference was quite small. “Viespile” is shaken somewhere on the 11th place in the standings, and the future does not sound so pink, the team having the whole lot, but it does not play much, having problems in the key moments of the game.
The Pelicans come with a good moral at this meeting after winning another match after OT, the third in the last 5, and Boogie made a sensational match: 44 points, 24 rebounds and 10 decisive passes being only 5 the NBA’s best-performing player. New Orleans is 6 in the East, but if they want more, they need a good run before the All Star Game. The chance is today when the “underdog” status is just because they are the “away team”.
Tip: New Orleans Pelicans +6.5 points @ 1.50
