New Orleans Pelicans
Moneyline Pick: Golden State Warriors (-900) - A+

Stephen Curry, coming off a solid four-game winning streak with Golden State, leads a squad at full strength against New Orleans, who are on a tough three-game losing skid and still missing Zion Williamson from their lineup. Historically, the Warriors have held a clear edge over the Pelicans in Western Conference clashes, further boosting confidence in this outcome. With the Warriors’ hot streak and lack of key injuries, minus the ongoing issues plaguing the Pelicans, this pick secures an A+ due to its strong likelihood, though the return on investment remains limited by the steep odds. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Over/Under Pick: Over 223.5, (-110) - B+

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, riding a three-game winning streak with a healthy lineup confirmed earlier this week, look set to push the tempo against the New Orleans Pelicans, who have dropped four straight while contending with Zion Williamson’s ongoing absence. Historically, the Warriors have often torched Southwest Division defenses, and with Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum active to strike back, both squads seem primed for a swift pace that could crack the 223.5 mark. Tagline: Brace yourself for an offensive fireworks display. This wager earns a B+ for its strong likelihood of success and decent potential payout. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Spread Pick: Golden State Warriors, -13.5 (-110) - A-

Stephen Curry has been torching opponents lately for Golden State, who roll in on a three-game winning streak with their core of Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins all active. The Pelicans limp into this one on a four-game skid, still missing Zion Williamson due to ongoing lower body concerns, making it even tougher for them to handle a team that typically dominates Western Conference rivals. Based on past meetings where the Warriors’ high-octane offense outpaced New Orleans’ defense, a double-digit margin feels very likely, offering an attractive upside if the bet hits. Odds and availability are subject to change.
