Point Spread: -3.00 | -105.00 New Orleans (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans (10* MONEY-MAKER).

This is a pivotal game for both of these bottom feeders in the bubble as each tries to run down a playoff spot. The Suprs are 3-2 in the bubble and the Pels are 2-3. With a loss here, the Pelicans will be eliminated from post-season contention though and with that massive motivating factor working in their favor, I think the more desperate club will indeed play with a sense of urgency from the opening tip until the final horn. I'll point out as well that the Spurs are just 7-13 ATS in their last 20 in this series, while the Pels are interestingly 5-2 ATS in their last seven vs. the Southwest division. For all the reasons listed above, lay the points.

T.M. Prediction: 118-110 Pelicans.
