Point Spread

Odds of -110 are pretty standard for point spread bets. If a book takes in more action on one side over the other – but not enough to justify moving the spread – then the odds can shift a little. For example, a majority of the money coming in the favorite could lead odds on that side to change to -115, while odds on the underdog side are.

Spread: Also commonly referred to as the line or spread, a negative point spread value (-15.5) indicates that team is favored by 15.5 points. A positive value (+15.5) on its opponent means that.

The Pelicans (14-17) will look for a third straight win overall and a second win this season over the Bucks (19-13), and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The point-spread was developed to provide a balance for both teams involved in a contest to entice bettors to potentially back the weaker team and receive points. The two squads in a game are listed with a title, either a favorite or an underdog.

New Orleans added to its win on Sunday against Boston with a win on Wednesday against Detroit, needing a far less dramatic second-half comeback.

Jrue Holiday’s expected absence from Thursday’s game due to health and safety protocols takes some of the luster out of the game, but the Bucks will certainly be looking for revenge after being beaten in New Orleans earlier this season.

Here’s when you should tune in to see the game on Sunday:

Advice and prediction

Las Vegas clearly has no idea what to do with the Pelicans and they can get in line. The best explanation is that New Orleans is playing to the level of its opponent on a nightly basis. This spells bad when they’re playing poor teams but this should mean good things on Thursday.

Still, the Pelicans should have no trust when it comes to the line. Instead, take over 227.5.

Prediction: Pelicans 120, Heat 115
