The Spurs are in a rough spot right now. They recently lost Victor Wembanyama for the season, De’Aaron Fox is out, and to top it off, they just got embarrassed by the Hornets. If they couldn’t handle Charlotte, how are they supposed to keep up with a well rounded Pelicans squad that’s been rolling?

Zion Williamson is going to feast in this matchup. With Wemby out, the Spurs have no answer for him inside, and he’s been putting up 24+ a night with ease. The Pelicans have already beaten San Antonio twice this season, and without their two best players, it’s hard to see how the Spurs keep this one close.

And let’s talk about San Antonio’s offense. Without Fox running the show, they’re going to struggle to generate clean looks. The Pelicans, on the other hand, thrive in transition and force turnovers, so expect them to turn defence into easy buckets all game long.

At just -2.5, this is a steal. New Orleans is healthier, deeper, and in a perfect spot to cover. Expect them to control the pace, dominate inside, and take care of business.

Pelicans win big! Lock in -2.5 and cash out!
