Recommended Pick: The Pelicans -1.5 points
Potential Payout: Win $202 for every $100 Bet (+102) @ DraftKings
Current Form:
The Heat have dropped three of their last four games, including a 111-115 loss to the revamped Utah Jazz. Miami remains second in the Southeast Division behind the Orlando Magic, but their record is in danger of sliding to .500 if they don’t arrest their skid. The Magic will be missing several key players for this game against the Pelicans. These include first-time All-Star Norman Powell (back) and Tyler Herro (Ribs), who are the most-dependable scorers on the Heat roster.
The Pelicans have scored rare back-to-back wins over the Minnesota Timberwolves 119-115 and the Sacramento Kings 120-94. Trey Murphy starred for the Pelicans in those wins, finishing with 26 points against Minnesota before tallying 21 points and 7 assists against the Kings.
