The Pelicans came up short against Minnesota on the road in Saturday’s 118-107 loss as eight-point underdogs to drop their third game in the past four outings both SU and ATS. The total went OVER 222.5 points in that game and it has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in eight of their last 12 games. New Orleans returns home with a SU record of 14-11 while covering in just 10 of those 25 home games. The total has gone OVER in five of its last seven games at home.

With DeMarcus Cousins lost for the season with a torn Achilles, the pressure to fill that void has been put squarely on the shoulders of Anthony Davis as the team’s scoring leader with 27.0 PPG. He put up 43 points in Friday’s 114-100 upset against Oklahoma City with the Pelicans closing as 6.5-point underdogs on the road before leading the way again in Saturday’s loss with a game-high 38 points. Nikola Mirotic added 18 points off the bench in the losing cause. New Orleans remains fourth in the NBA in scoring with 110.8 PPG.
