Result: Win
Afternoon games are an unusual spot and the Pelicans have been absolutely awful in early afternoon games the past two seasons, going 0-4 SU and ATS, losing by more than 20 points per game. This young team is unlikely to cure its early-game woes here.
The Pelicans are 0-8 ATS (-12.00 ppg) on the road after Zion Williamson was not their high scorer last game.
New York has the best defense in the NBA in points allowed with an average of 104.3 points per game. Their HC promotes defense and that is how they win.
New York will be facing one of the weaker defenses in the NBA as the Pelicans are allowing an average of 115.1 points per game and this will help the Knicks below-average offensive output. New York has covered the spread in each of its last eight games played and the Knicks have covered the spread in four of the last six played head-to-head against New Orleans. Take the NYK here on Sunday afternoon.
