New Orleans Pelicans vs San Antonio Spurs prediction

Details:

The Spurs are going through a transitional year after trading away the bulk of their assets and getting ready for a potentially long rebuild. They are hovering near the bottom of the Western Conference, which was expected coming into the year. The Spurs are 10-20 overall and having 5-8 on the road this season.

Pelicans has beaten the Spurs twice this season, both by double-digit scores. The Spurs might see an opening here without Williamson playing, but they will be playing their second straight game without their own leading scorer in Johnson.

Pelicans is 12-4 on the season at home and has played a number of games without key players and showed off their depth. They have shown the ability to protect the basketball and, even without Williamson, they can control the boards in this matchup. 

Im taking Pelicans to handle this as expected and to cover the spread
