New Orleans Pelicans 2023-24 Season

The 2023-2024 season is eagerly anticipated by New Orleans Pelicans fans, and the key focus is on the health and performance of their star player, Zion Williamson. After battling injuries in the past, Zion's health remains a significant storyline. If he can stay injury-free, he has the potential to be a game-changer. His combination of power, speed, and agility makes him a force on both ends of the court.

Under the guidance of head coach Willie Green, the Pelicans aim to build a competitive team around Zion. Young talents like Brandon Ingram and Herb Jones offer solid support. The front office has worked to strengthen the roster with strategic additions.

The hope is that Zion Williamson's health will allow him to have a breakout season, and the Pelicans can compete for a playoff spot. Fans are excited to see how the season unfolds and whether Zion can reach his full potential.

Pelicans Moneyline

Just because a team has a losing record doesn't mean they were automatically bad moneyline bets. These types of bets are simply on which team will win, and like spread bets they're tied to expectations set by the betting market. Take this example Pels game:

• New Orleans Pelicans +165
• Dallas Mavericks -200

Because the Pelicans are expected to lose, moneyline bettors get a plus-money payout if they win. You can read the odds in $100 increments: A $100 bet on the Pels ML would pay out $165 if they won. In contrast, a Mavericks moneyline bet here would require $200 spent to win $100.

Pelicans Spread

If you're new to betting, against-the-spread bets are one of the most common types of wagers in the market. Put simply, you're just betting on the margin of victory in a game. Look at this example of a Pelicans game:

• New Orleans Pelicans (-2.5)
• San Antonio Spurs (+2.5)

The odds above say the Pelicans are 2.5-point favorites over the Spurs; you can denote that by the minus sign above. A Pels spread bet would cash in this instance if they beat the Spurs by three or more points. Any other outcome in the game would be a win for Spurs spread bettors.

Pelicans Over/Unders

Here's an example of over/under bets: Say the Pels played the Grizzlies and the total was at 239 points. If the teams combined for 240 or more points, over bettors would cash their tickets. Exactly 239 would push the bet, and 238 or fewer points would win for under bettors.

Pelicans Prop Bets

Between Zion Williamson, Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and others, there's no shortage of big names on the Pelicans roster. If you prefer to bet on just a single player, you'll find those bets at any sportsbook, and they're called player props. Some Pelicans props include Zion to score over/under 18.5 points, Lonzo Ball to post a double-double, and more.

Pelicans Future Odds

Expectations rose in New Orleans with the arrival of Zion Williamson, which means bettors will have to shop for the best line to get good odds on Pelicans futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long-term outcomes, like the Pelicans to make the playoffs , win the Southwest Division, win the Western Conference, win the NBA Finals, or even individual awards like Williamson winning league MVP.
