Denver at New Orleans

These teams have split their two meetings this season with Denver looking to avenge a 130-125 loss to New Orleans on Dec. 20. The Pelicans have been decimated with injuries since then and are barely playing with a full roster. The Nuggets had an impressive 109-105 win at Memphis last night as Will Barton scored 25 points and his team shot 48.7 percent, including 13-of-29 from long distance. The Pelicans did their best to hang with San Antonio but lost 100-92 and now play a back-to-back with a depleted squad. Alexis Ajinca led the Pelicans with 18 points with nine rebounds. Denver has covered five of the last seven meetings and the UNDER is 12-4 its last 16 games in New Orleans. Play the Nuggets and also play the UNDER.
