Raptors vs. Pelicans Game Predictions
I like the Pelicans to win the game (moneyline), but I’ll take the Raptors ATS (+10.5). Pelicans power forward Zion Williamson is questionable to play, which would be a huge break for the Raptors. Williamson leads New Orleans with 22.3 points per game, and his absence would leave a huge hole in the Pelicans offense. Toronto’s RJ Barrett, who averages 21 points per game with his new team, is back in action, giving the Raptors a much needed boost. The Raptors will be coming off a game the night before, and Toronto is 2-6 on no rest which is why the Pelicans will win, but the Raptors will keep it close, especially if Zion doesn’t play.
Here are my picks for the Raptors vs. Pelicans Monday night matchup:
Moneyline Pick: New Orleans Pelicans (-575)
ATS Pick: Toronto Raptors (+10.5)
O/U Pick: Under (235.5)
Score: Raptors 110; Pelicans 117
