Free New Orleans Pelicans vs. New York Knicks NBA Prediction:
The Pelicans have shown they have a championship ceiling this season. That said, they’ve also shown plenty of vulnerabilities, especially (almost exclusively) in the health department.
Pelicans Just Can’t Get Right
All of that considered, there’s no reason to bet on the Pelicans Saturday night with a healthy Knicks team waiting to take advantage at Madison Square Garden.
Give this one to the Knicks, and give it to them big.
Undoubtedly, the home Knicks get the win both straight up and against the spread.
