Devin Booker has gone for 50+ points in each of his last three games against the Pelicans and there's no reason to believe he won't have another strong outing tonight. Read more in our NBA betting picks below.
With just one game separating them in the standings, their matchup today on Sunday, April 7 is crucial to both teams who want to improve theon Monday night, it made three games in a row where Booker had scored 50+ points against the same opponent. That’s something that the NBA hasn’t seen since Wilt Chamberlain.
The Pels even tried sticking Zion Williamson on Booker for stretches. Zion has made strides on that end but has a long way to go before that’s a realistic solution. Then on the backline, the Pels don’t have bigs strong in the pick-and-roll or comfortable guarding in space. When Book beats his first guy, he’s getting to the rim before Jonas Valanciunas can remotely contest him.
Normally I’d be hesitant to buy on a player who just embarrassed an opponent as thoroughly as Booker just did. The opposing team is bound to be more locked in after all, but Booker has done this three straight times and the Pels have tried every coverage and defensive option they have already.
