Free New Orleans Pelicans vs. Detroit Pistons NBA Prediction:
Another key point, New Orleans owns the West’s No. 3 spot so far this season, but it’s also lost five of its last seven contests straight up.
The team is without two of its stars in Brandon Ingram, but CJ McCollum has looked like a man possessed at times and is starting to gain All-Star attention on NBA Twitter.
Don’t Let Pels’ Slide Sway You
On Friday, I’d expect McCollum’s momentum to translate across the roster against a Pistons team that has a far inferior group of talent—especially considering its own injuries.
All in all, I feel you can give this one to the Pelicans both straight up and against the spread.
