The Coach's NBA Friday Night SLAUGHTERHOUSE
(NBA) New Orleans vs. Philadelphia,
Point Spread: -9.50 | -110.00 New Orleans (Away)
Result: Loss
The New Orleans Pelicans have been terrible on the road this season, but they knocked off the red hot Pistons in Detroit on Wednesday. They should have little trouble making it consecutive road wins as they are in Philly taking on the Sixers tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Injuries - Pelicans PG Jrue Holiday didn't play in Detroit on Wednesday, but New Orleans didn't miss a beat. The Sixers on the other hand were without their leading scorer Tony Wroten when they lost 100-84 at Toronto. Wroten will likely be sidelined again tonight.

2. Home Cookin' - The Sixers don't have any kind of home court advantage, with a record of 2-16 in Philadelphia.

3. X-Factor - The 76ers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference.

Selection: This is a play on the New Orleans Pelicans (8*)
