De’Aaron Fox is stepping up as the main man for the San Antonio Spurs with Victor Wembanyama out for the season, and tonight he faces the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans have struggled recently, dropping nine of their last 10 games, making for a favorable matchup for Fox and the Spurs.
Fox has been in good form, scoring 27 points in the last game against the Detroit Pistons. With the Pelicans allowing one of the highest average points per game in the league, Fox is expected to have a standout performance, especially with their lack of strong defenders like Herb Jones and Dejounte Murray.
The Over/Under for Fox’s points in this game is set at 25.5, and considering his recent performances and the defensive weaknesses of the Pelicans, the prediction leans towards Fox going over this line. Additionally, Chris Paul’s assists are also set at over 7.5, given his playmaking abilities and the offensive nature of both teams.
The game overall is expected to have a high-scoring outcome, with both teams leaning towards the Over in their recent games. Follow along for more NBA picks, betting tips, and updates on the San Antonio Spurs and New Orleans Pelicans matchup.
