The Golden State Warriors rolled over the New Orleans Pelicans 118-92 in Game 4 to grab a 3-1 series lead and can put the finishing touches on Anthony Davis and company with a win in Game 5 at Oracle Arena on Tuesday. Golden State has been dominant at home in the postseason, as the Warriors are 5-0 SU in their last five home games with an average winning margin of 14.2 points.
Sportsbook opened the Warriors as 11.5-point home favorites with a total of 226.5.
- The Pelicans are 3-27 SU in their last 30 games against the Warriors.
- The Pelicans are 10-3 SU and 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games.
- The Warriors are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games after an ATS win.
Golden State has averaged 120.7 points in its three victories in the series while winning two of them by at least 20 points. Kevin Durant scored 38 points in the Game 4 victory, his highest output of the postseason. With star point guard Stephen Curry back in the fold, the Dubs are looking like the team that’s won two of the last three NBA championships right now. Curry made four three-pointers in Game 4 to move into third place on the career playoff list with 326.
Davis, who’s averaging 26.3 points and 13.8 rebounds in the series, has been doing his part, but he’ll need his teammates to step up in order to stave off elimination. The Pelicans shot 36.4 percent from the field and committed 19 turnovers in Game 4.
