New Orleans Pelicans vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction & Picks, October 31, 2026

Jeremiah Fears needs to score points and grab rebounds tonight for the bet to hit over 17.5. He's got a solid chance because the New Orleans Pelicans allow a lot of three-point attempts, which means more scoring opportunities for him. Plus, the Atlanta Hawks give up plenty of rebounds, so Fears could snag more boards when his teammates miss. However, it's worth noting that the teams are pretty close when it comes to turnovers. If Fears and the Pelicans can stay sharp and limit mistakes, he should be able to reach that total.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Atlanta Hawks: Herb Jones Over 9.5 Pts + Rebs (+114)

Herb Jones has been playing well lately, contributing significantly in both points and rebounds. In this matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, the Pelicans often allow a lot of three-point attempts, which could lead to more scoring opportunities for Jones. Plus, the Hawks give up plenty of rebounds, so it's a good spot for him to grab a few extra boards. Betting on Jones to score over 9.5 points and rebounds feels promising based on his recent form and the way both teams play. However, it's worth noting that both teams are closely matched, so it could be a tough game. Still, with how Jones has been performing, this bet looks like a solid opportunity.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Atlanta Hawks: Jalen Johnson Under 29.5 Pts + Asts (+115)

Jalen Johnson has been scoring and assisting well lately, but the Pelicans have a tough defense. They allow a lot of three-point attempts, which can help spread the floor, but they also force turnovers and make it hard for players to get into a rhythm. Since 2018, New Orleans has let opponents grab 43.7 rebounds a game, so there's a chance for messy possessions that can limit scoring opportunities. The other side is that Atlanta allows a decent number of points too, but Johnson might struggle against the Pelicans' physical style. Given how closely matched these teams are, it's possible Johnson could fall short of that 29.5 combined points and assists. It's worth a shot, but it could go either way.
