Courtside Players Club NBA 1-3 Units (1/14/25)

NBA

1 Picks (3 Units).

8PM EST: Pelicans/Bulls Over 241 (3 Units).

The Pelicans are 3-3 but they've played inspired basketball of late. They nearly upset the Celtics in Boston their last time out, losing 119-120. The return of Zion Williamson has certainly provided a boost. They're still 28th in defensive rating and the Bulls aren't much better ranked 23rd. Chicago is 3rd in possessions per game and 4th in points per game. They lost to the Kings 119-124 their last time out but blew out the Wizards 138-105 the game before that. New Orleans is league average in Pace but they've above average in fastbreak points. If Zion played in more than 8 games that would rank significantly higher. Should be plenty of running and gunning in this one tonight.
