This game is an easy casher laying the points with Denver at home. The champs have smashed teams in this spot at home and the Pelicans roll into town without one of their best players and into elevation. Take the team that can be trusted to win.

Denver is 32-13 ATS after having won 2 of their last 3 games over the last 2 seasons. New Orleans is 11-23 ATS in road games after covering 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread over the last 3 seasons.

Best bet: lay the points with Denver.
