Philadelphia 76ers vs New Orleans Pelicans Pick – 3/24/2025

The Philadelphia 76ers (23-48) will face off against the New Orleans Pelicans (19-53) on Monday night, March 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM ET. This matchup takes place at the Smoothie King Center, providing the Pelicans with a crucial advantage as they look to make the most of their home crowd.

Both teams are struggling this season, with the 76ers having lost 30 of their last 40 games and the Pelicans not faring much better, losing 35 of their last 50 games. Recent performances have not been encouraging; the 76ers fell to the Atlanta Hawks 132-119 in their last outing, while the Pelicans lost a close contest to the Detroit Pistons, 136-130.

With both teams on a back-to-back schedule, fatigue could play a significant role in determining the outcome. The 76ers will be particularly challenged, having played just a day prior, limiting their recovery time. This lack of rest is a potential red flag as they head into a matchup against a Pelicans team that is favored at home.

The current spread sits at Pelicans -7.0, and the moneyline reflects the disparity in expectations, with New Orleans at -245 compared to Philadelphia’s +210. This gives the 76ers an implied win probability of 31%, while the Pelicans are strongly positioned with a 69% implied win probability.

As both teams continue to battle through a tough season, this game represents not only a crucial opportunity for the Pelicans to capitalize at home, but also a chance for the 76ers to prove they can compete despite their recent struggles.
