BEST BET: November 20th
NBA: 7:30 EST Pelicans vs Cavaliers
Analysis: The New Orleans Pelicans have a strong chance to cover the spread against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to their versatile offensive lineup, featuring star Zion Williamson, who can exploit mismatches against Cleveland's defense. While the Cavaliers boast an elite frontcourt with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, the Pelicans' perimeter shooting and transition game can stretch Cleveland's interior-focused defense. Additionally, the Cavaliers are currently dealing with injuries to key guards, which could weaken their ability to control the pace and limit New Orleans' scoring opportunities. With the Pelicans also demonstrating improved defensive schemes recently, they have the tools to keep this game competitive or secure a comfortable win. Allen and Garland will not play for the Cavs and Ingram will not play for the Pels.
PICK: Pelicans +14.5
