This is a 10* COAST-TO-COAST EXPRESS on the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Pelicans will be looking to get off the schneid and end the team's worst start in 11 years and take advantage of what we believe will be a complacent Hawks side which has won five straight. Desperation vs. contentedness. Is Anthony Davis and company really as bad as their 0-4 record would indicate? We definitely think the answer is: no way! "I've just got to find the (open) guy, try to make the right play, which I'm trying to do," Davis assessed last night. "Then it's on the guys to knock down the shots. Once they do that, then (the defense) can't double and triple team as much, because we have guys who can shoot the ball. I just want to be the best I can be to help the team win. I feel I'm not doing it right now." A date vs. Atlanta is just what the doctor ordered to get untracked though, note that Davis is averaging 26.0 points and 11.3 boards while shooting 52.9 percent in the last four in the series. With a game at home vs. division rival Washington tomorrow night, it's definitely not too hard to envision the visitors getting caught "looking ahead" to that contest. Note that Atlanta is just 43-48 ATS the last two seasons vs. teams with losing records, while New Orleans is 15-11 ATS in its last 26 off an upset loss as a favorite, 15-13 ATS in its last 28 after three or more consecutive SU losses and 15-14 ATS in its last 29 when playing with two days of rest. We expect the home side to finally hit a couple shots and to at the very least, keep this one close enough to escape with the ATS victory; play on the PELICANS.
