Soooo many people on the unibrow tonight.

Why is this? Anyone have any solid analysis as to why the Pelicans have value tonight at essentially even money?

Beats me ??? Aren't they "0" for ????

They are. AND they just lost to dallas last game.

Wes is playing tonight and no forseeable injuries to speak of for dallas.

Dallas is not rated better in spreads because they are only scoring 99 a game BUT the pels have the worst defense in the league.

Line already moved 1 point since it came out to -1.5. The line in all england bookie shops is even money and I wouldnt be surprised if that was the case by game time in shops around the world.

People are expecting the Pels to break through at some point. It just seems to be too unlikely that a good team can become so bad in just a few months with no major roster changes. These Mavs are crap too, btw. And if anything, the fact the Pels have already lost to them is bad to Dallas backers. I will probably stay away, but if I had to wager on this turd-game, Pels 1H seems like a decent lean.

Playing a home & away, not easy to win/cover both.

Situationally speaking, it might not be the best spot, but does the situational aspect trump stats and trends? IMO it doesnt and if vegas is going to set the line due to the situation, chances are there is value if the trends and stats lean against the situation.

And the Pelis came out strong. Should've gone bigger on the 1H NOR. Might be worth to lean on Mavs 3Q either ATS or TT over.

Davis hip injury but this game is over either way.
