With millions of dollars at stake, Las Vegas oddsmakers get things right more often than most. That’s why it’s interesting to note that the New Orleans Pelicans have been tagged as 1.5 favorites against the Detroit Pistons today.
Everyone is fully aware of the Pelicans woes away from home this year as they sport a 3-10 record, yet apparently, it’s not a large enough red flag to deter Vegas. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the New Orleans has won 11 of their last 12 meetings with Detroit. Or that Anthony Davis always cooks against the Pistons.
