The line on the Trailblazers-Pelicans game was coming in at -4 New Orleans. The line on this game should be -2 according to the NBA Betting Power Ratings.
New Orleans has won four of the last five games in this series.
The Pelicans are 6-0 Against The Spread in their last 6 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall. They are up 2-0 in this Playoffs series.
Pelicans player Jrue Holiday is being called the best guard on the court. His relentless defensive pressure and unstoppable drives into the lane have earned New Orleans a commanding 2-0 advantage with Game 3 of the best-of-seven Western Conference playoff series set for Thursday night at the Smoothie King Center.
“I may be a little bit biased, but if you can tell me a better two-way player in the league right now … I’m willing to listen,” New Orleans head coach Alvin Gentry said after Holiday scored a playoff career-high 33 points and had nine assists in a 111-102 victory in Portland on Tuesday night.
Portland’s Damian Lillard is 0-8 with 2 turnovers in this series when guarded by Jrue Holiday.
