New Orleans Pelicans vs. Denver Nuggets Same-Game Parlay: Tail This +595 Same-Game Parlay at Betfred
The Denver Nuggets will welcome the New Orleans Pelicans to Ball Arena for a conference showdown. Denver has lost two straight games since a five-game winning streak. Meanwhile, the Pelicans ended a long losing streak by knocking off the Detroit Pistons, 111-101 on February 1.
It's been a long layoff for the Pelicans. Will they be prepared, on the road, against the Nuggets? Here's our favorite same-game parlay for the Pelicans vs Nuggets game.
New Orleans Pelicans vs. Denver Nuggets Over/Under Movement
Pelicans vs. Nuggets Same-Game Parlay Picks
Leg 1: Nuggets -6.5 (-110)
The New Orleans Pelicans are still one of the worst offenses in the NBA. The Pelicans scored 101 against the Pistons, but before that game, the Pelicans were held to 90, 97, 105, and 107 in their four other games prior to that one. The only thing New Orleans does well is offensive rebounds but the Nuggets are even better at defensive rebounding and hold opponents to just 23.7 percent offensive rebounds. If the Pelicans can't get second chances, it's going to be hard to win or even cover in this game.
Leg 2: Under 222.5 (-110)
Again, the Pelicans have struggled offensively. Meanwhile, the Nuggets aren't that effective on the offensive end either. Denver is shooting an effective field goal percentage of 54.7 percent but turns the ball over 14.4 percent of the time and earns just 24.4 percent offensive rebounds. Neither team should get many second chances in this game and you likely won't see a whole lot of fouling either. Unless the Pelicans just go uncharacteristically bonkers offensively in this game, the under is the play here.
Leg 3: Under 107.5 First Half (-110)
The Pelicans have a deep bench and because of that, New Orleans loves to play their bench players. Now the reality is, your bench is weaker than the starting lineup. But in that second quarter, you will see a bunch of backups in there. That should help the under in the first half. Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic didn't play in the last game against the Jazz and could be a bit rusty in this game. We've seen him struggle early in games before and then turn it on late. So backing the under in the first half looks like the play and if this hits, we'll be in good shape for the full game under.
