ASA free play on New Orleans Pelicans -8.5 vs. NY Knicks, 8:10 PM ET - The Knicks are locked into their position in the Eastern Conference standings and will face the Cavs in the opening round. That means everyone sits tonight for New York and the bench players get all the minutes. New Orleans on the other hand still has something to play for AND have been playing well on top of it. The Pelicans are 8-2 SU their last ten games with quality wins over some of the best teams in the West including Memphis, Denver, and the Clippers twice. This line is obviously inflated due to who the Knicks will be playing but it’s not that far out of line as the Pels were just favored by -6.5 points against the Grizzlies who still had something to play for. Easy call with New Orleans tonight.
