Result: Loss
*8* play on New Orleans Pelicans.

The New Orleans Pelicans went into the All Star Break winning two of three, with the one loss coming at Oklahoma City. They have a favorable matchup in their return to action, hosting the lowly Philadelphia 76ers. My money is on the Pelicans to win by double-digits.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Pelicans have won four of the last five in this series, and they covered the spread in all four of those wins. They crushed the Sixers 99-74 at home in the last meeting (January 2015).

2. Shaking Off The Rust - The layoff might be particularly bad for the visitors, as the 76ers are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 3 or more days rest.

3. X-Factor - The Sixers are just brutal on the road, going 5-11 ATS in their last 16 road games.

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