76ers vs Pelicans

Bet on which slump ends under the bright lights

Philadelphia 76ers

Franklin (23-47) VS King Cake Baby (19-52)

Mar 24, 2025 | 8:00 PM ET | Smoothie King Center

New Orleans Pelicans
Moneyline Pick: Pelicans (-260) - B

Quinten Grimes looks poised to steer Philadelphia toward a much-needed rebound after dropping four straight, but concerns linger over the Sixers’ depth, especially with Tobias Harris nursing minor knee soreness. Meanwhile, the Pelicans continue a three-game skid of their own yet anticipate significant contributions from a healthy Zion Williamson, who is expected to suit up despite previous foot issues. Historically, New Orleans has matched up well at home against Eastern Conference foes, and their high-energy squad appears ready to capitalize on Philadelphia’s scattered defensive efforts. Given the momentum swing if they snap their losing run now, the Pelicans command the pick at -260, earning a solid B rating due to both a fair likelihood of success and moderate potential payout.

Over/Under Pick: Over 233.5, (-110) - B+

Philadelphia looks to rebound behind an active Quinten Grimes after three straight defeats, while New Orleans hopes to end a four-game slide. Historically, these teams eclipse lofty totals when pitted against conference foes, and a successful $110 wager at -110 odds would net $100. This Over call lands a solid B+ rating for its likelihood and appeal.

Spread Pick: Philadelphia 76ers, +7 (-105) - B

Philadelphia is desperate to break it's slump with much of their roster out with injuries, while New Orleans continues its own three-game slump. Although the Pelicans have struggled to find consistency in the Western Conference this season, they bring physicality that has cost the 76ers in past matchups. Still, Philly’s home-court edge, combined with a refreshed Embiid and Tyrese Maxey at full strength, hints they can keep this contest within single digits. This bet earns a solid B rating for its decent chance of success and a moderate payout if it hits.
