New Orleans at Brooklyn

This is a a high NBA total but these are a pair of teams dealing with a lot of injuries. New Orleans superstar forward Anthony Davis sat out in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday with an illness and is day-to-day. The Pelicans are 8-3 UNDER the total when playing on one day of rest, plus 35-17 UNDER on the road against a team with a losing home record. Brooklyn has even more problems, with Allen Crabbe (knee) and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (groin) ailing. They've averaged 101 points the last two games, shooting 39.8% in a loss at Charlotte while going 4-of-27 from long range. The Brooklyn Nets are #16 in the NBA in scoring, #21 in field goal shooting, #23 in free throw shooting. Brooklyn has gone six straight games UNDER the total after allowing 125+ points in their previous game and this total is too high. Play UNDER in this one.
