Pelicans vs Spurs prediction
Pelicans vs Spurs best bet: Pelicans +11.5 (-105)
There’s not much question in my mind who wins: At 4-17, the New Orleans Pelicans are tied for the second-fewest road wins in the NBA and are dead last in the West (4-28) against teams with a winning record.
However, the San Antonio Spurs haven’t been a great bet against the spread of late, going just 2-4-0 in their last six.
While the Spurs have won all three games against the Pelicans this season, the largest margin of victory has been seven points, and NOLA is 3-0-0 against the spread.

Consider also the Pels are as healthy as they’ve been all season, so all those extra points are a nice gift for Sunday’s matchup.
