10* OVER Pelicans/Knicks (ASSASSIN)

Both teams have been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, but I predict a wide-open "shootoout" here in the Big Apple on Saturday night. The Pelicans went into the All Star break with a 120-102 loss to the Lakers, and they opened up the second half with a 115-110 loss at Toronto. Without Zion Williamson in the line-up, the Pels struggle. That said, note that New Orleans has seen the total go "over" the number in eight of its last ten after playing to three or more straight "unders" in a row. The Knicks went into the break with three straight wins, and they opened up the second hal fwith a 115-109 victory in the Nation's capital. These are two teams in need of a victory. Look for this non-conference contest to be less intense defensively, leading to this total eclipsing the posted number sooner, rather than later; the play is the "over!"
