CJ McCollum and the New Orleans Pelicans are looking to move the standings at the expense of the Portland Trail Blazers.

If there is a small silver lining for the Blazers, they have been generating a bunch of steals over the last five games themselves, good for fifth place in the NBA over that period. Indeed, Portland has been one of the worst teams in the NBA at avoiding turnovers lately, and it’s not hard to imagine that the Pelicans might be able to beat their season average in steals against the Blazers. The New Orleans Pelicans still have some work to do if they want to be playing in the post-season, but you’d be foolish to count them out at this point. Word on the street is they’re not gonna make the playoffs this year which is very unfortunate.” New Orleans are the second best in the NBA in steals at 8.5 per game. Player development and looking ahead to the draft are the orders of the day. Portland opponents have shot 39.9% from deep over the last five games, seventh from bottom, so this doesn’t bode too well for Portland. Over the last five games they shot 44.6% from three, best in the NBA over that stretch. McCollum is averaging 21 points per game this season and has been completely solid for the Pelicans. Last time out they dispatched the Los Angles Clippers in Los Angeles by the score of 131-110. Expect to see a heavy dose of Shaedon Sharpe again, and don’t be surprised if Damian Lillard and Jusuf Nurkic don’t suit up (they are listed as questionable as of this writing).

The dreadful defense has been bad enough to keep the Overs flowing for total bettors in this span, with the Blazers going 6-3 O/U since March 8. The Pelicans enter this game with the third-ranked defensive rating this month (110.3) and have really tightened the bolts during this four-game run (100.5), holding foes to an average of 99.3 points on 43% shooting. Portland has put forth an average of fewer than 109 points per game in the previous nine outings. Even at full strength, the Trail Blazers are a bad defense. 5 and just the third time this month the Pels played Over the total. One of those three rare Over results came against this Portland team on March 12, with NOLA winning 127-110 and going beyond the closing number of 221 points. NOLA is putting up 120.5 points per outing during this streak, shooting almost 51% from the field. But he’s also fantastic at creating turnovers, with 1.5 steals per game this month, and finishing those fastbreaks at the rim. And one of the biggest reasons why NOLA’s totals are climbing and a big part of that defense-to-offense drive is 6-foot-8 forward Murphy can hurt you from all aspects of the offense, including beyond the arc where he’s shooting better than 47% for an average of 4.3 makes over his last dozen appearances. He’s a very efficient scorer who’s knocking down more than half his looks this month and recently torched the Portland has dropped eight of its last nine outings and is a sizable underdog at home tonight with many key players potentially sidelined.
