After the best moment of the season for the Pelicans, they lost 4 games in a row, the last of them against the Mavericks, and will host the reigning champion in New Orleans, who already beat them in January, although in a very close game that ended in Boston 119-120 in favor of the Celtics in mid-January.

The Celtics won by 22 points against the Bulls and covered in something that is however unusual, since although the Celtics record is 33-15, the ATS record is 19-28-1. The Celtics capitalized on 22 points from the free throw line, where they had 27 attempts. That last game against the Bulls was Porzingis' best night this season with his season high of 34 points, and 26 of them came in the first half. It was a good way to open the game early against the Bulls to recover from the recent frustrating loss against the Rockets.

The Pelicans lost a close game to the Mavs that same day, which on a positive note saw McCollum become the leading three-point shooter in Pelicans franchise history.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Boston Celtics Prediction

The Pelicans, despite their poor record but with a team where Williamson finally seems healthy, could very well do well at home against the reigning champions who failed to cover in 6 of their last 10 games. Williamson had a nice 29-point game against the Mavs and despite the loss they made 15 of the 31 3-point shots they attempted. Our prediction for Celtics vs Pelicans is: Pelicans +10.5.

Prediction:

 

Pelicans +10.5
