Nets vs Pelicans Prediction
Nobody has been as harsh on the Nets as I have. I just don’t think this franchise has any direction, and I’m not eager to get behind this group. However, the Nets have covered 6 of their last 9 games, and that’s what we’re in this business for at the end of the day. If a team is cashing tickets, I’m on board.
As I’ve said before, the Pelicans have talent, but they let you down far more than not. After putting together a winning streak, the Pelicans are 0-3 SU and ATS in their last three games. The Pelicans just got smoked by the Warriors 87-138. The Pelicans have allowed a combined 277 points in their last two games. I can’t lay chalk with the Pels in their current form. Give me the Nets on Wednesday night.
