Golden State Warriors vs. New Orleans Pelicans OVER 205
Golden State is #1 or #2 in every offensive category. However, they are a solid defensive team, which does hurt, but what is good for us is that they are much worse on the road. As we saw in Game 3, the pace was much faster in New Orleans and the defense was much worse for the Warriors. The Pelicans had great success shooting the ball and went on several runs throughout the game.
I expect the wind has been completely taken out of the sails of the Pelicans after their 4th quarter collapse. They know they blew this series and it's all but over. New Orleans should play this game loose with a nothing to lose attitude. Typically games played with this mentality are higher scoring since they don't give that great of a defensive effort but do try to give the fans a fun, offensive showcase type game to watch. With this being an elimination game, this does give us that chance of a much longer "foul game" at the end of regulation as New Orleans will continue to foul knowing this is the end of their season. New Orleans is a much better scoring team at home and they play much faster. They also are a worse defensive team in their own building. If these teams are knocking down their threes, this goes over with ease
lets crush these books!
