Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
Both teams are a combined 3-9 against the spread with Brooklyn just 1-5. That includes 1-3 home record where they miss projections by just 2.4 points per game. New Orleans is 1-2 away from home.
One of them will have to cover tonight and that expects to be BROOKLYN(-3.5, -106). The best performance Brooklyn had all year was against Houston and New Orleans can give up points in bunches. Also, that -106 is a reasonable value.
Over/Under (O/U)
The projected total is set at 231.5. It seems like a high number but these two teams will meet it based on their pace of play. New Orleans allows a ton of points while Brooklyn scores best at home. It will be very close but the -110 for the OVER is a solid number. Expect a big game from Kyrie Irving to push the number up and Over.
