New Orleans hasn't been winning outright much, but the Pelicans have covered five of six as home underdogs, including a 111-109 loss to Sacramento on Dec. 12 as a 7-point dog. Some good news for New Orleans is that C.J. McCollum and Herbert Jones have returned from injuries as the Pelicans slowly but surely try to get most of their players back after being inundated with injuries since the beginning of the season. New York is 1-6-1 ATS its past eight games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5 and the Knicks are 1-7 ATS against the Southwest Division. Take the points with the Pelicans.
