Wizards vs. Pelicans

Our projection is driven by Washington’s league-leading 105.97 pace and their 29th-ranked defense (121.5 DRTG), which is further compromised today by the confirmed absence of Anthony Davis (finger). New Orleans' defensive efficiency has cratered to a 119.1 rating over their last five games, and after seeing them participate in a 256-point track meet on March 5th, we expect this matchup to comfortably exceed the 239.5 total.
