Knicks vs. Pelicans Prediction:
The Knicks had a tough game in Atlanta on Friday night as they defeated the Hawks 126-120, while New Orleans last played on Wednesday when they defeated Memphis on the road.
This should be a great game as a lot of young stars will be in action for both teams. I like the Pelicans to take care of business in their home opener. New Orleans is going to be a tough team this year, depending on health, but for this contest they are healthy, minus a couple of role players. This should be a closely contested game, but I think we see fatigue set in for New York in the second half, as this is their first B2B of the year. New Orleans pulls away late to grab the win.
NBA BETTING PREDICTION: Pelicans -3.0
