The read

Pelicans are on the back end of a back-to-back, and the second night is a mile-high road trip — fade the tired legs, ride the rested Nuggets.
NOLA burned it down to the wire in Salt Lake last night (120-119 loss at altitude), while Denver sat home Friday and gets full rest at -105 on the number.
Double-digit spreads leave room for a garbage-time backdoor, but B2B fades are 5-1 in this tier and a gassed road team in Denver is how 12-point margins happen.
