The Pelicans are coming in playing at home in this game here and that will help the Pelicans out quite a bit. The Spurs are struggling on the year on the road and that will make it a little bit harder for the Spurs to get the win in this game here. Look for the Spurs to continue to have some road issues here, even after doing good in their last game. Compounded with the fact that the Spurs are giving up more points per game on average than scoring it will be easy to see San Antonio get the loss here, but also for the weaker defenses to allow this game to hit the over.
