The Pelicans are 9-19 ATS in their last 28 road games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The under is 16-5 in Pelicans last 21 overall. The under is 6-0 in Nuggets last 6 overall. The Pelicans are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Denver.

The Denver Nuggets should be favored at home, where they've beaten teams into the ground and covered numbers left and right. However, this is a lot of points to give the Pelicans, who are fighting to stay in the play-in tournament. Even with the Pelicans collapse Tuesday against the Warriors, they're winning their last 5 games by an average of 19.6 points. The Pels need a win to improve their playoff chances. Give me the points.
