Portland is hit hard with injuries and they may be without Lilliard for the rest of the season as there is talk of shutting him down. I like the Pelicans in this one on a pure numbers basis. The Pelicans have won five of the last six games against Portland and are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. They are 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. Portland is 1-5 ATS in their last six games and has lost five straight games against the spread at home. Maybe more importantly the Trail Blazers have lost five of their last seven games by at least 14 points. Take the Pelicans in a rout.

Play on New Orleans.
