The Brooklyn Nets are looking to salvage a win on this three-game road trip and end a four-game skid when they take on the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
This could be Brooklyn\u2019s chance to get back in the win column as the Pelicans are coming off a loss to Denver last night. New Orleans has now lost 11 of its last 12 games.<\/p>\n
The Nets blew out the Pelicans 119-101 last month in Brooklyn and are looking for a similar effort tonight.<\/p>\n
The oddsmakers have the Nets as slight road favorites at the best betting sites<\/a> on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a look at the odds, players to watch, and my prediction for Wednesday night\u2019s NBA matchup.<\/p>\n Nets vs. Pelicans Odds, Spread and Total<\/p>\n Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n Spread<\/p>\n Nets -1.5 (-118)Pelicans +1.5 (-102)<\/p>\n Moneyline<\/p>\n Total<\/p>\n \u00a0228.5 (Over -108\/Under -112)Nets vs. Pelicans How to WatchDate: Wednesday, Jan. 14Time: 8:00 p.m.\u00a0Venue: Smoothie King CenterHow to Watch (TV): YES, GCSENNets record: 11-26Pelicans record: 9-33Nets vs. Pelicans Injury ReportsNets Injury ReportHaywood Highsmith \u2013 outE.J.

He\u2019s seeing more offensive usage than he did in Denver, leading to this sudden breakout after averaging 16.2 points per game during his six years with the Nuggets.<\/p>\n The Nets forward has at least 27 points in seven of his last nine games. In fact, dating back to November 16, he has 27+ points in 13 of 19 games, averaging 27.5 points per game in that span.<\/p>\n Porter Jr. had 35 points on 14 of 23 shooting, including 5 of 10 from deep, last month against the Pelicans. He should be able to replicate a similar output tonight against a tired New Orleans squad.<\/p>\n Nets vs. Pelicans Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n Neither of these teams inspires much confidence on the offensive end of the floor. The Nets are last in the league with 108.7 points per contest, with the Pacers slightly above them at 110.8.\u00a0<\/p>\n That\u2019s resulted in the Nets going under the total in 24 of 37 games, and while the Pelicans have gone over in 24 of 46 contests, that\u2019s largely due to their opponent racking up the points.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Nets aren\u2019t really a team that\u2019s able to do that. Brooklyn has been held to 105 points or fewer in each of its last four games.<\/p>\n This should be an ugly, low-scoring game in New Orleans once again.<\/p>\n Pick: Under 228.5 (-112)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Claim the latest DraftKings promo code<\/a> offer today.
