The New Orleans Pelicans (13-8, 11-10 ATS, 12-9 O/U) battle the San Antonio Spurs (6-16, 9-13 ATS, 10-11 O/U) in a divisional clash on Friday evening. The Pelicans defeated the Raptors on Wednesday night. The Spurs recorded a road win against the Thunder in their previous bout. The Pelicans clobbered the Spurs 129-110 in the lone meeting this season last week.
The New Orleans Pelicans are seeking a third straight win. The squad is looking good, winning four out of their last five games propelled by solid defense. They defeated the Thunder 105-101 on Monday and were 2.5 point dogs in a dominating 126-108 home win against the Raptors on Wednesday despite missing key players. The Pelicans have covered in one out of their last three games.
Zion Williamson continues to shine. The 22-year-old power forward has recorded at least 23 points in three out of his last four games including a 32-point effort against the Spurs last week. Williams has posted an average of 23.1 PPG and 6.6 RPG. Brandon Ingram has missed the last few games due to a toe injury. The 25-year-old small forward is considered questionable for this one. Ingram is having another productive season, logging 20.8 PPG along with 4.7 APG. CJ McCollum ha s missed the last four games due to health and safety protocol. He is cleared to play but sat out on Wednesday due to conditioning. He should be ready for this one. McCollum has eclipsed 20 points in two out of his last four games and enters with an average of 18.7 PPG and 6.1 APG.
