New Orleans at Brooklyn

The Brooklyn Nets have had a difficult season that cost their coach his job after a 50 point loss to Boston where the team never showed up. They have been marginally better since then, but this team has a long way to go to be competitive. They have played well enough to cover 57% of their games when posted as a geater than 4-point dog. New Orleans is now fifth in the NBA Western Conference at 41-26 and trail the LA Clippers by just one game. New Orleans is just 2-3 ATS as a road favorite of 8.5 or more points, and this line looks a bit too big. The Pelicans have had all kinds of trouble vs. Brooklyn as they are a woeful 2-8 SU in the last nine meetings, and just 3-8 ATS in the last 11. Make the play on Brooklyn.
