The Pelicans are on the second half of a back to back. They gave a game away on Wednesday in Denver. They had way too many turnovers but still managed to cover. Now the Nuggets meet an undersized and undermanned OKC team. Love the Pelicans here by double digits.

I am very tempted to take OKC outright here at a huge ML price. The Thunder ended a 14-game losing streak Tuesday in Boston and apparently are playing all their "key" guys here who aren't already shut down for the season -- which is most of their "key" guys. New Orleans, meanwhile, is in the second of a B2B and expended a ton of energy in Denver on Wednesday trying to stage a late comeback. The Pels almost succeeded. Starting center Steven Adams left that with an injury and will not play here. New Orleans is 3-7 ATS in its past 10 as a road favorite.
