Key facts

• James Harden, Tyrese Maxey and PJ Tucker are out for the Sixers
• Brandon Ingram and Larry Nance Jr. are out for the Pelicans
• The Sixers have won 3 of the last 4 against the Pelicans

Both the Sixers and the Pelicans are having great seasons. New Orleans is only one win away from the top of the Western Conference and are the team that has made the biggest leap this season. Zion Williams is finally turning into the player everybody expected him to be and that brings success in New Orleans. On the other side, Embiid is in a beast mode being the second-best scorer in the league. He is literally unstoppable, but Jonas Valenciuans is a good defensive big man who can at least slow him down tonight. The problem for the Sixers is the absence of their two starting guards James Harden and Tyrese Maxey. With these two being out as well as their best perimeter defender PJ Tucker, things drastically change. Besides Zion, the Pelicans have CL McCOllum who will dominate from outside and make the difference in this game. Given all this, the Pelicans will be able to keep the game close and maybe even win. However, placing a bet on the Pels covering the +8 point spread seems like a great deal for 1.60.
