New Orleans at Golden State

The Golden State Warriors, at 59-6, continue to persue the all-time best regular season mark of 72-10 set by the Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls. The wins keep coming for this team, but the huge margains they were generating earlier in the season have been tough to sustain while the point spreads reflect them. This team won 15 games prior to February by more than 16 points and have managed to do so just one time since the beginning of February. The door is open for a New Orleans team that has lost by more than 12 points in just one of their last nine losses, and they also fit a very strong situation here that is 94-44 ATS. This game also has an extremely high total, and I don't think New Orleans is not going to try and get into a track meet here against a Golden State team who plays that game much better. Their best chance is in the half-court, and look for extended possessions by the Pelicans here. This game also fits a strong total UNDER indicator that has been 61-26 ATS in the last 20 years in the NBA. It doesn't come up often, but when it does it usually is very predictive. Make the play on New Orleans and the UNDER.
