Advice and prediction
There is no surer a bet right now than the Pelicans over. On Friday, the Pelicans made the Suns’ slightly above-average offense look like the best in the league.
Boston enters with a bang-average offense ranked 15th but rank eighth in 3-point percentage. New Orleans enters 29th in defending the 3-point line. While it’s not as simple as A + B = C, it’s the groundwork for how over 231.5 hits on Sunday.
Prediction: Celtics 120, Pelicans 115
