Friday, Jan. 12 vs. New Orleans, Ball Arena, 7:00 p.m.

NO +6.5, +190
DEN -6.5, -230
TOTAL 230.5

The New Orleans Pelicans are back in Ball Arena, and it looks like they will be full strength. CJ McCollum, Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson are listed as probable, an upgrade from questionable. This has been a good match so far this season, as they have split 1-1 and have fantastic front courts, and a high scoring back court. The Nuggets came from behind to win against the Pelicans last time, and are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Utah Jazz. Not because the Jazz are bad, in fact they are the hottest team in the league, but of how badly they lost. That is old news, and the starting five are healthy and at home. This is a strength versus strength game, that should be back and forth.


BET OF THE NIGHT: New Orleans Pelicans +6.5 -115 MGM

This is going to be a wonderful game tonight, and the Pelicans are coming in hot, 6-1. Denver will play better than they did last night because that is what champions do, respond well. This line was at 8.5 earlier today, and could move closer to game time.

Thanks for reading.
¡Vamos Los Nuggets!
