NBA - Cavaliers @ Pelicans
(NBA) Cleveland vs. New Orleans, 03/13/2024 8:00 PM, Score: 116 - 95
Point Spread: -6.50 | -110.00 New Orleans (Home)
Result: Loss
I'm on the Pelicans -6.5 vs The Cavaliers, for these reasons:

- Good size matchup for Pelicans, who have the length to complete with the bigger Gaurds and Jarret Allen of the Cavs

- Better bench is on the home side in this game. Yes Cavs are making due with who they have because of the various injuries, but New Orleans are the healthier team, and are 5-1 in their last 6 straight.

- Pelicans are 35-27-2 ATS this season. One of the best covering teams in the league from a betting perspective.

- Cavs have struggled to get past 110 in their last 6 games, Pelicans are lighting up the scoreboard, especially at home because of their excellent 3pt shooting and ability to frequent get to the free-throw line.

- Cavs shoot the 25th least Freethrows in the league, and they are going to struggle on the boards here vs Zion and Valenciunas.

Official Play: Pelicans -6.5
