Result:
LOSS

The New Orleans Pelicans immediately compromised their season with an 0-8 start. They have rebounded somewhat, but are still a below average team. The Nets have been a disaster, especially lately, as they have managed just a single win in their last 13 games. Nothing places value on a team than extended losing streaks, as the oddsmakers realize that no one wants to touch a bad team, especially a bad team that is struggling. The fact is that a team on a seven game or more losing streak in the NBA is an unfair coin, as thy cover 52% of the time, which becomes 53.4% when the opponent is less than .400. New Orleans is just 11-22 ATS the last two seasons vs. poor teams and getting out-scored by three points or more per game. Play on Brooklyn.
