Only three games will tip off in the NBA tonight, which makes finding betting value a bit less likely. It certainly doesn't make it impossible, though, as evidenced by our PRO Report.

NBA Pick: Pelicans vs. Jazz

Two value indicators have lit up on the same side of tonight's Pelicans-Jazz matchup. A historically profitable betting system and our NBA model's projection are each suggesting a bet on the Pelicans.

We break down each of them below.

PRO Systems

Historically speaking, the Pelicans are in a spot tonight that tends to cover the spread — at least at a rate high enough to return a significant profit.

As a road underdog coming off of an ATS loss, and going up against a team that covered its last game, New Orleans finds itself in an undervalued position, and is therefore a match for our Road Dogs Off ATS Loss PRO System, which has returned a 55% cover rate on a sample of more than 1,800 games since 2005.

PRO Systems edge: Pelicans

Model Projections

Our NBA betting model is on the same side as history, suggesting there's a bit of inflation in tonight's spread number.

It pegs the true line at Pelicans +5.6, giving New Orleans more than a point of remaining value, and a B- value grade.
