Pelicans 1st Quarter +3 vs 76ers
Paul George was suspended for 25 games this morning, disrupting a 76ers starting lineup that had just begun to cook.
We also love historically betting Zion teams in the first quarter. This season, the Pelicans are 19–15 ATS in the 1Q with Zion, compared to just 4–12 ATS in the 1Q without him in the lineup. That split is not new and aligns closely with his career trends.
Since he was drafted in 2019, the Pelicans are 10 games over .500 ATS in the 1Q when Zion plays, and 15 games under .500 ATS in the 1Q when he doesn’t.
🎯 PLAY: Pelicans 1st Quarter +3 vs 76ers (Okay at +2.5)
