Stephen Curry to Record 6+ Assists (-180)

Same Game Parlay odds: +472

Under 233 Total Points (-110)

You know what’s been the number one catalyst behind the recent success of the New Orleans Pelicans? Defense. This team has really stepped it up on that side of the basketball, in their last 10 games the Pels own the best defensive rating, while also playing at the slowest pace in the entire NBA. The under has cashed in 4 of their last 6 games and they’re also 6-12 on the O/U in their last 18 game vs Western Conference opponents.

The Warriors have also slowed things down a bit in their last 10 games averaging just 98.77 possessions per game. They just lost Chris Paul to an injury, so the playmaking will take a hit in this game. These two teams are averaging only 219.9 points per game over the last 10 meetings, with the under cashing 7 times during that stretch. In the 5 most recent meetings, this bet has cashed 4 times so I’m fairly confident in backing it yet again.

C.J. McCollum Over 3.5 Made Threes (+100)

Unlike his teammate Brandon Ingram who is off to a somewhat modest start to 2024, McCollum has been cooking ever since the turn of the new year. So far in January he’s averaging 57.6% makes from downtown, he’s also cleared this line in 6 games in a row and in 10 of his last 14 played.

He is also making an average of 2.8 threes per game in the last 5 meetings with the Warriors on a respectable 39% efficiency. The Pelicans could once again be without Zion Williamson here, if that is the case it will be up to either Ingram or McCollum to lead the way scoring wise, I’m sticking with the most efficient shooter in the NBA right now.

Stephen Curry to Record 6+ Assists (-180)

And finally, to wrap things up I have Stephen Curry to notch at least 6 assists here. Steph’s shooting has been up and down lately, so I’m more comfortable backing him to get the assists here. Especially since CP3 went down with a broken hand which will keep him out for a while. Curry has cleared this line 4 times in his last 5 games, with Paul’s 7.2 assists per game no longer being there, I think Curry’s numbers will go up a bit as he is the main playmaker on this team.

As good as the Pelicans defense has been lately, for the season they still rank only 18th in opponent assist per game allowing 26.9 a contest.  On the road that number jumps up to 27.6 per game, so let’s hope Curry can make the most out of it. Curry has been nothing but sensational in the last 10 meetings with the Pelicans. He’s averaged 31.5 points and 6.1 assists during that stretch, that includes one game in which he went out early with an injury lowering is averages a bit. Count on Steph to bring it home.
