Every single game on Friday's NBA card went over the total as shooters look more relaxed and there is no crowd to hype up a strong defensive effort.

Whether this is a trend that will continue throughout the regular season remains to be seen, but I expect this matchup between the Pelicans and the Clippers to go over the total.

Additionally, with both teams in action for the first time recently, we might see some stiff legs which usually reflects in poor defensive efforts.

Note that Over is 9-4 in the Pelicans last 13 games as an underdog and 4-1 in their last five head-to-head meetings with the Clippers.

8* play on OVER.
