New York Knicks vs. New Orleans Pelicans Predictions

Score Prediction Knicks 111 Pelicans 108

New York is riding a 6-0 ATS run, while coming off a pair of solid home wins over the Lakers and Grizzlies. The Knicks face the Pelicans for the first time this season as New York seeks its first four-game winning streak of the campaign.

The Pelicans have also won three games in a row, although the last two have come against Cleveland and Sacramento, who are not going to the playoffs. New Orleans has been shaky as a favorite this season, owning a 6-9 ATS mark the last 15 tries as chalk.

The Knicks have compiled a 6-1 ATS record in their last seven tries in the road underdog role and worth a strong look in the Big Easy on Wednesday.
