2024 NBA Preseason Picks & Predictions: Pelicans vs. Heat
Check out our top NBA preseason picks and predictions for today’s game.
Pelicans vs. Heat
The New Orleans Pelicans became the preseason with a 106-104 victory over the Magic at home. Zion Williamson got 19 minutes and scored 16 points. Meanwhile, Jordan Hawkins was impressive off the bench, with a team-best 18 points. They'll face a Miami team that is currently 0-1 after a loss to the Hornets. Miami is dealing with many injuries and shot just 42.4% from the field against the Hornets. To be fair, Miami out-shot Charlotte but fouled at a much higher rate, which cost them the game. I'll trust the Pelicans at +1.5 (-125).
Pick: Pelicans +1.5 (-125)
