New Orleans Pelicans vs. Brooklyn Nets Prediction

The Nets are still a bit shorthanded with Ben Simmons still out and Dorian Finney-Smith listed as questionable, while the Pelicans are coming in with a full team again. This is a classic case of two teams going in opposite directions as the Pelicans play some of their best basketball of the season to win six of their last seven games, while the Nets have been in some form terrible and just lost to lowly Spurs in an ugly overtime defeat on Sunday. The line is reasonable for this one, so I encourage the Pelicans to take care of business in an easy win in this spot.
