Pelicans vs Celtics Predictions

The New Orleans Pelicans and Boston Celtics will matchup in an interconference battle we don’t see very often. These are two extremely young teams with loads of talent and this will be an absolute joy of a game to watch. We have you covered from every angle when it comes to betting this Celtics vs Pelicans game.

That means the best possible predictions for not only the spread, but over/under and moneyline as well. Let’s dive into how this game will go down and who will end up covering the spread. You will not want to miss out.

This game will take place at 7:30 PM ET in the TD Garden

Why bet the Celtics:

✅ The Pelicans have all eyes on them as Zion Williamson continues to get better, and rightfully so. He’s going to be one of the best players in the league for the next 15 or so years. However, the Celtics have plenty of firepower on their end and they are fighting for a lot more at this point in the season. The Celtics are finally healthy and this is the time to make a push if there ever is one. I actually think they do and make a surprise run in the playoffs. The Pelicans can be a tough matchup if you take the night off, but they can also be quite an easy one if you’re locked in.

✅ The Celtics are the more trustworthy team down the stretch, especially at home. They outrank the Pelicans in FT%, 3PT%, and turn the ball over a lot less. The guard play on the Pelicans is worrisome as the absence of Lonzo Ball has been felt. Brandon Ingram has the ability to play point, but it messes with the entire offense and the Celtics will make them pay.

✅ Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are still two of the best youngsters in all of basketball and they have to have a chip on their shoulder after the start of this season. The Pelicans rank 22nd against opposing wings and this is a great opportunity for both of them to kick off a solid second half of the season. Give me the Celtics to win this one in a close game.

✅ The New Orleans Pelicans are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win.

✅ The Boston Celtics are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 Monday games.

As I mentioned, these two teams don’t face off very often. When you combine that with the Pelicans being one of the younger franchises in the NBA, we have just 40 all-time matchups between the pair. They’ve exactly split at 20-20, which makes this game a bit more interesting as the winner will also hold the all-time advantage.

The Boston Celtics and New Orleans Pelicans have never met in the playoffs as it would require both of them to make the NBA Finals. With all of that being said, this is going to be a great game and one you won’t want to miss out on.

Pelicans vs Celtics Against the Spread Predictions

When making a New Orleans Pelicans vs Boston Celtics wager against the spread, you must pick which team will win the game and by how many points. This can seem like a tough wager on first glance, but that’s the reason you are here in the first place. We are here to dive into every factor necessary so you can cash in on what is sure to be a competitive clash.

For example, let’s say the Boston Celtics are favored by 3.5 points over the New Orleans Pelicans. In this case, a wager on the Celtics would call for a win by four or more points while a bet on the Pelicans would call for either a victory by any margin or a loss by three or fewer points.

Wagering against the spread is the most popular way to wager on NBA games as you’re able to get even odds on both sides of the bet. Make sure to check out the Pelicans vs Celtics against the spread predictions above as we will let you know which side of the spread to be on.

Boston Celtics vs Pelicans Over/Under Betting

If you aren’t sure whether the Boston Celtics or New Orleans Pelicans have the advantage against the spread, you can elect to be the over/under. When wagering the total, you must pick whether the Celtics and Pelicans will combine for more or less than a certain amount of points. That number is set by the sportsbook and will continue to adjust as action comes in on both sides.

Using a similar example as above, we will say the Celtics vs Pelicans total is set to 223.5 points. In this scenario, a wager on the over would call for 224 or more total points while a bet on the under would require 223 or fewer total points scored. This is the second-most popular way to wager on NBA games and the other way to get even action on both sides.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Celtics Moneyline Predictions

When you don’t know which side of the spread and over/under you should be on, you can also wager the moneyline. Betting the moneyline is a very simple one as all you have to do is pick which team will win the game outright. This allows you to ignore the spread and over/under while focusing solely on who will walk away victorious.

When wagering the moneyline, the favorite will have a (-) next to their name that will indicate how much you must pay to return $100 on a succesful bet. The underdog will have a (+) next to theirs and will tell you how much you would win on a $100 wager. This is the third-most popular way to wager on NBA games and the way a a lot of casuals like to go.

The moneyline isn’t always a wager worth playing as the price can sometimes be astronomical. Make sure to check out the New Orleans Pelicans vs Celtics moneyline predictions above as we will let you know if this is a bet worth considering or not.
