The Warriors are entering this game with a 17-19 record overall and they are 11-10 in their home games this season where they will be in this game.

The current betting odds have the Pelicans listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pelicans have looked good in their games this season with their 22-15 record overall and they are 10-7 in their road games too. They have some momentum entering this game with a win against the Kings in their last one and they have been one of the best road teams in the NBA over the last few weeks too. Meanwhile, the Warriors haven't looked great in their games this season with their 17-19 record overall which has them out of a playoff spot right now. They haven't been that good in their home games either with their 11-10 home record. They just lost their last game at home to the Raptors but they are missing some key starters in their lineup and they haven't looked good for most of the season. The Pelicans are a surging team in the West right now and they have looked a lot better than the Warriors have in their games lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Pelicans to cover the spread in this game.
