1.88Tip and bets
Bookmakers experts consider New Orleans to be the clear favorites of the upcoming match. In their opinion, Charlotte will not have many chances to succeed. However, they overestimate the chances of the visiting team. The Pelicans have more or less corrected their game, but the team main star Williamson is sick again. Without him and Ingram, it is very difficult to compete on equal terms even with not the strongest opponents. Lee charges will have to achieve victory with the noisy support of their fans.
Our prediction is a Charlotte win with overtime at 2.45
Bet on individual total
Charlotte has been showing good performance this season. The average point average for the last ten games is 112. In games with the Pelicans - 109. And this time everything is going to the fact that the Hornets will be able to significantly improve their statistics.
Our prediction is Charlotte individual total over 114.5 points including overtime at 2.08
Bet on the player
Williams played 19 games in the past regular season and averaged 12.7 points per game. This season, his rate is already slightly higher - 15.5. The 23-year-old center has definitely not lost his basic skills. The American basketball player will be able to cause a lot of trouble for the opponent defense.
Our prediction is Williamson total points over 16.5 points including overtime at 1.87
