New Orleans Pelicans at New York Knicks Pick
Overall, the Knicks have been in terrible form as of late reflected in a 2-8 SU record in their last ten outings. Moreover, the Knicks have not won a game at home over this stretch despite three attempts. There was once a point where a bettor could expect to pay a premium to back the Knicks in New York but now due to their stock being so low, we can take advantage. The fact remains that New York beat this team just two weeks ago in less accommodating confines. Despite, NOLA playing a far better brand of basketball as of recent the market is adept to the match-up here. The Knicks are in obvious position to pull off an upset. Given the fact we are only given a basket, we’ll trade the points in for the Knicks outright on the Money Line. In doing so, we erase the vig and swing the bet $.20 in our favor if we are successful. Knicks outright is the play.

Take New York +110
