Trail Blazers vs. Pelicans Game Info

Portland Trail Blazers (17-10) at New Orleans Pelicans (12-15)
Date: Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2021
Start Time: 9 p.m. EST
Venue: Smoothie King Center — New Orleans

The trends point to value on Portland here, as the Trail Blazers boast a 15-12 record against the spread to the Pelicans’ 12-15. Likewise, trends also point to clear value on the over — overs have hit in 70.4% of New Orleans’ games and in 55.6% of Portland’s. The fact that this is a back-to-back shouldn’t discourage over bettors, as the over is 3-0 when the Pelicans are playing without rest and 3-1 when the Blazers do the same. That said, the trends aren’t the end-all, be-all, and sportsbooks have posted a high total because of what they’ve seen on the court.

If you’re siding with the trends, the Blazers are the underdogs here, so there’s some value in playing them plus four points, and you can get the best juice on that line through FanDuel. Should you support the Pelicans here instead, head over to BetMGM for the narrowest spread and the best juice. Make sure to double-check OddsShopper to confirm that you’re still getting the best deal as tip-off approaches!
