Betting on the San Antonio Spurs
- Regular Season Record: 19-52
As if it wasn’t enough for the San Antonio Spurs to be already eliminated from the postseason with one of the worst records in the NBA, this Tuesday they begin a series of games that will take them on the road for seven of their next eight games.
San Antonio is the second-worst team in the circuit with a 6-27 record and has only one win in its last 10 road games.
In the NBA, the Spurs are the team that allows the most points per game to opponents with an average of 122.1, being the only team above 120 points. In addition, no other defense concedes more than 50% field goal shooting to opponents at 50.5%, and they also concede the most three-point shots at 39.3%.
On the offensive side, things are not better. With an offense that averages 112.6 points per game, it is very difficult to alleviate their defensive problems. Likewise, they are among the 10 worst offenses in field goal shooting, long distance shooting, and free throws, while they are the third worst in turnovers with 15.6 per game.
Betting on the New Orleans Pelicans
- Regular Season Record: 34-37
With 11 games left to play, the Pelicans are only half a game away from making it to the playoffs in the hard-fought Western Conference.
Ranked 12th, the New Orleans team is one of the quintets engaged in a fight where only three games separate them from the sixth place occupied by the Los Angeles Clippers.
Sunday’s win against the Rockets was extremely important, as it not only halted a string of two losses, but it was the second victory in the last eight games. That has been repeated constantly throughout the year, as the Pelicans are averaging just 113.9 points per game.
On the defensive side, New Orleans is characterized by its good long distance shooting defense. In fact, they are the team that concedes the lowest shooting percentage to their opponents with 34.1% and are 15th in points allowed per game with an average of 113.5.
