Fanduel Odds

Well fellas we are back and tonights picks are an absolute lock. The Pelicans are fighting for the 10 seed so that they can compete in a play-in game, while the Nuggets sit comfortably at the 4 seed. The Nuggets are missing 3 guards tonight; Murray, Morris, and Barton. That is a huge factor against a team like the Pelicans that gives up a lot of points to good shooting teams. The Nuggets will have to rely on Jokic, Porter Jr, and their defense to win this one, but I think the Pelicans still have an edge. Take the Pelicans +4, Brandon Ingram over 23.5 points, and Nikola Jokic over 9.5 assists.
