2015 Free NBA Playoffs Picks: Golden State Warriors @ New Orleans Pelicans Game 3 Betting Odds and Expert NBA Predictions

The Golden State Warriors enjoy a comfortable 2-0 series lead over the New Orleans Pelicans after winning game 1 on Saturday by a score of 106-99 and Game 2 on Monday by a score of 97-87 from the Oracle Arena in the Bay Area. The Warriors won both games but bettors that backed the Warriors went 0-2 against the spread as the Pelicans came back to get the back door cover in Game 1 as a +13 underdog and held on to sneak out another cover in Game 2 as a +12.5 point underdog.

The Warriors have rode the backs of their outstanding backcourt duo, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, to take a commanding lead in this series. Curry poured in 34 points while Thompson added 21 in the Game 1 win while Thompson came back and scored 26 points and Curry added 22 points in the Game 2 victory. While Curry and Thompson have put their team in control of this series, the best player in the series so far may very well be the outstanding Anthony Davis from the Pelicans. The 6-10, 220 pound power forward has been dominant so far after pouring in 35 points and 7 rebounds in Game 1 and then coming back to put in 26 points and 10 rebounds in Game 2. Davis is the only reason the Pelicans are not getting embarrassed and blown out in this series so far. He is that good.

The Pelicans return home for Game 3 at the Smoothie King Center where they went an impressive 28-13 in the regular season. The Pelicans are a different animal playing at home and are 25-16 against the spread this season so far to put a nice chunk of change in their bettors’ pockets. The Warriors will have to be ready to match the Pelicans’ intensity in Game 3 but they should be up to the task if they can continue their strong road play that they put out in the regular season. The Warriors went 28-13 straight up in the regular season on the road although they did go just 21-20 against the spread.

After carefully dissecting and analyzing this matchup we have decided to put our money down on New Orleans +5 to get the job done on Thursday night. The Pelicans beat the Warriors 103-100 back on April 7th in New Orleans so they know they can beat the Warriors at home. We look for another fantastic game from Anthony Davis in Game 3 as he continues to show why he will be the most dominant force and the best player in the entire NBA over the next decade. His time is coming and he’ll show why in a monster Game 3 performance. Take New Orleans +5 on the spread. Good luck.
