New Orleans is a team that is finally back in the playoffs. Getting back to the playoffs is to be a great accomplishment for the moral. However Golden State is at home, and they have been ridiculous, and they have destroyed the Pelicans at home this season as well. Most of the home game for the Warriors they've sat their starters in the 4th quarter.

Golden State lost just twice at home this season (26-14-1 ATS). And, second, the Warriors will have had the last two days off to rest and prepare. And Golden State is an awesome 29-6 ATS when playing with at least 2 days' of rest, including a perfect 7-0 ATS their last seven playoff games. Klay Thompson has been far more aggressive offensively over the last several games, which will be even more to worry about already. The Warriors can shoot with ease, they all have quick releases, which makes things tough on defenders.

Golden State wins by 16 or more here in game 1.
