New Orleans Pelicans

The Pelicans have six wins in the stretch of nine previous matches, thanks to which the team from Louisiana moved up to fifth place in the Western Conference standings and is currently 1.5 wins ahead of seventh place.

Expert Betting Tips

Toronto got closer to the play-in zone of the East, but mainly due to the fact that competitors, in the form of Atlanta and Brooklyn, began to falter more often. The Raptors' prospects of making it to the elimination rounds are almost unbelievable anyway. New Orleans, on the other hand, is quite capable of making the playoffs directly. At least in the West, the Pelicans are currently in the top-6. We're not betting on a better team, and we're not expecting a high-scoring affair. New Orleans has made great strides on defence and currently ranks eighth in the defensive rating.
