New Orleans Pelicans vs Boston Celtics : New Orleans Pelicans Under 126.5 Team Total Points (-500)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on 'New Orleans Pelicans Under 126.5' for the Team Total Points is backed by the Pelicans' recent scoring data. In their last five games, the Pelicans have an average score of 116.8 points overall and 118.2 at home, both of which are significantly lower than the betting line of 126.5. Additionally, our model predicts a score of 124.06, which is also under the 126.5 point threshold. Furthermore, the Celtics' recent defensive performance, which has limited the Pelicans' opponents to an average of 113.4 points at home, suggests that the Celtics could hold the Pelicans under the 126.5 point line. Therefore, the Pelicans scoring fewer than 126.5 points is a statistically sound bet.
