AccuScore has the Hornets as slight 51 percent favorites to win, a number that would warrant a -104 money-line price. Sports books are only giving the Hornets a 38 percent chance of winning (+165), so there is value on the money-line.

The average score after 10,000-plus simulations is 95-94 in favor of the Pelicans, but as the home team, the Hornets have a higher probability at a big win (10 points or more). Keep in mind, Charlotte is 4-11 ATS in its last 15 games at home.

AccuScore Best Bet: There’s about a 58 percent chance the total combined score stays UNDER 193, a 4-star (out of four) AccuScore Hot Trend. The total has gone UNDER in five of the Pelicans’ last seven games.  Projected Leaders Anthony Davis: 19 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 TOs  Kemba Walker: 19 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 TOs
