The New Orleans Pelicans (4-17) face off against the Atlanta Hawks (10-11) in what promises to be a challenging matchup for the visiting squad. Set for Monday night at State Farm Arena, the game tips off at 7:30 PM ET. The Pelicans are coming off a back-to-back, having faced the New York Knicks just yesterday, a game they lost 118-85. This quick turnaround could prove to be a significant disadvantage, as their players have had less time to rest and recover.

With the Hawks playing on their home court and boasting an implied win probability of 80%, they sit as massive favorites with a spread of -10.0. The moneyline further underscores the disparity, with Atlanta listed at -470 and New Orleans at +380.

For those interested in player props, Trae Young's performance in terms of Points, Rebounds, and Assists is drawing significant action. Initially set at an over/under of 35.5 for PRA with odds of -125, sharp bettors have driven the line up to 36.5 at -110. Young continues to be a focal point for Atlanta, and his all-around contributions could be crucial in maintaining their winning momentum.

The Pelicans, struggling with an eight-game losing streak, face a daunting challenge. As they look to turn things around, the odds and circumstances suggest that Atlanta has the upper hand in this matchup.
