New Orleans has lost three straight, the last two on the road by 16 and 51. Trey Murphy III, who sat out Monday’s 138-87 defeat in Golden State, is probable on the league’s report.
Brooklyn is 2-8 and comes in on two days’ rest after a 130-93 loss in Dallas on Sunday. Michael Porter Jr. scored 19 in that one.

Score prediction
Pelicans 115-111 Nets. Brooklyn is 1-5 on the road and has lost those games by 8.3 points on average. New Orleans is 3-3 at home. We have the Pelicans by four.
Nets vs Pelicans prediction
The Canadian books make New Orleans about a 63 per cent chance, and its net rating is 4.1 points per 100 possessions better than Brooklyn’s.
The spread is 4.5 at all three books that priced it, just past our margin, and after the way the Pelicans defended in their last two games we would rather back them to win than to cover.
Our pick: the Pelicans to win. The spread is −4.5, just past our four-point margin, so we pass on it.
What would change it: if Zion were ruled out late, we would call it a coin flip.
