Our NBA betting picks for Spurs vs Pelicans believe San Antonio is a live underdog thanks to Victor Wembanyama being on the court, and Brandon Ingram being off on Friday, April 5.
The Pelicans have been playing without Brandon Ingram for the past couple of weeks, something that has really done damage to this team’s defense. It’s slipped into the bottom half of the league in efficiency rating over the past 14 days, and while the offense has seemed to survive without Ingram, this team’s success rate from 3-point range has absolutely cratered, removing one of its biggest weapons. The mid-range shooting has simply not been there either.
The Pelicans find themselves head and shoulders above the Spurs for the season when it comes to production on the glass, but in the last two weeks the script has flipped with San Antonio knocking on the door of the top 10 and the Pelicans falling into the bottom third of the NBA. It’s hard to justify these numbers given Wembanyama’s variance in the past 10 games, but the matchup certainly calls for a lot of Wembanyama against a weak frontcourt.The Pelicans were initially offered as 10.
