New Orleans Pelicans vs San Antonio Spurs prediction
The New Orleans Pelicans are as healthy as they’ve been all year, and they’re starting to pile up the wins while covering 5 of their last 8 games. The San Antonio Spurs finally won their first game since the moon landing, but it takes more than one win to move the needle, and they’re still just 10-14 ATS despite being big underdogs nightly. I still don’t trust the Spurs and their inability to play defense. Give me the Pelicans in a comfortable road win.
