The Heat and Pelicans split their streak last season, but this is another Pelicans list with Steven Adams and without Jrue Holiday in the preseason, the Pelicans beat the Heat 114-92

New Orleans took a formidable win earlier this week, causing nasty problems for Zion Williamson and Lonzo Ball early on and revolving around a game that could easily have slipped. Perhaps most impressively, the Pelicans under Stan Van Gundy are already there seem to be making greater efforts on the defensive, and with the heat still maybe returning to the groove after a brief off-season, there’s some real value in Pelicans 35, or by taking the Pelicans straight at 140
