Jose Alvarado Points Scored Props • New Orleans

In terms of offense, the New Orleans Pelicans's feeble 102.3 points per game as the home team rates weakest in the NBA over the last 10 games. The Pelicans will likely see a decline in opportunities in this game from being pitted against the 2nd-most lethargic pace team in the league over the last 25 games (the Miami Heat). The matchup against Miami may be a challenging one for getting to the free-throw line; the other team's starting SGs have attempted just 1.0 free throws per game over the last 5 games when the Miami Heat are on the road (4th-least in the league).
