Zion Williamson (22.4 ppg) and Trey Murphy III (22.2 ppg) lead a New Orleans offense that has averaged 118.75 points over the last four games. But they've lost 11 of 13 because of a poor defense, ranked 28th in the league in points surrendered (122.2 per game) and 27th in opponent shooting. Indiana had won three in a row as underdogs before losing at home to Toronto as a favorite, allowing 49% shooting. The defense ranks 23rd in points given up and 25th in shooting allowed. These teams met in December in a 128-109 New Orleans win that went OVER 235.5, and this shapes up as another game with more offense than defense. Take New Orleans/Indiana OVER the total.

Pro Picks
Indiana at New Orleans
Two of the worst teams in the NBA square off in this matchup, but Indiana played one of its best games of the season before losing 114-113 to New York on Thursday. Jalen Brunson hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 4.4 seconds left to win it for the Knicks. New Orleans surprisingly has won three in a row after losing 16 of 17. The Pelicans shot 51 percent and hit 11 of 27 3-pointers while defeating Houston in overtime 133-128 on Thursday. Plus, they overcame a 25-point third-quarter deficit, which is not likely to happen in consecutive games. Indiana got a spark from Quenton Jackson, who had been out with a hamstring injury. Jackson scored 10 points with four rebounds and two assists while helping on the defensive end. Take the Pacers.
