At the very beginning of the season, the Pelicans were hit by an injury epidemic. Heading into the game against Brooklyn, Willie Green’s team is without Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum, Herbert Jones, Jordan Hawkins, and possibly Trey Murphy. As we can see, nearly all of New Orleans’ starting lineup is out.
In their previous game, an away match against Orlando, Zion Williamson was also absent, and New Orleans lost without any chance of success – 88-115, marking their fourth consecutive loss.
Brooklyn The Nets have been performing better than expected early in the season. For instance, in their two previous games, Jordi Fernandez’s team was close to stopping Boston on the road, losing only in overtime – 104-108 (94-94), and then put up strong resistance against Eastern Conference leader Cleveland, with a score of 100-105.
Brooklyn currently holds a 4-6 record, but as mentioned, even against contenders, the New Yorkers are putting up a fight in head-to-head matchups.
Our prediction: fouls – Brooklyn to win with a -1.5 handicap at odds of 1.85 on the line.
Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.85.
