Tip and bets

1.88Handicap (-1.5) on New Orleans

Opponents are occupying last play-off spots in their respective conferences, so it will probably be a tough encounter. Home advantage might be a big factor tonight, because New Orleans secured 19 victories in 28 home matches of the current season. But Pelicans have serious injury problems. Five players are currently sidelined: Ingram, Liddell, Valanciunas, Williamson and Daniels are on injuried list. But Louisiana team still should be able to extend the winning streak.
