The NBA is FANtastic, remember? That means they love to send the fans home happy, having just watched their home team win. Never is this more true than on a rowdy Friday night in the Big Easy. Portland will be without their top player, LaMarcus Aldridge, who hurt his back on Wednesday. The Blazers are finishing up a disastrous road trip, having dropped 4 in a row. The Pelicans match up well against this team, covering 6 straight in this series. Take the home dog tonight.
