Pelicans NBA Championship Odds

While bet365 has the Pels' championship odds at +150000, other Louisiana betting apps aren't as kind. DraftKings, for example, has their odds set at +1000000, equating to a 0.01% chance of winning the title. Regardless of which sportsbook you're looking at, New Orleans has the longest odds across the league and likely will be eliminated in the next week.

Pelicans Western Conference Odds

The Pelicans' Western Conference odds are off the board, according to DraftKings. Ultimately, they are barely ahead of the Utah Jazz, who have been eliminated, indicating that the Pelicans will also face elimination soon. 

Pelicans Playoff Chances

If the playoffs were to start today, the Pelicans would not be in it as they are currently one of the worst teams in the Western Conference. DraftKings and other outlets have removed their playoffs odds, emphasizing the fact that the Pelicans will likely miss the playoffs this season.

Where Can I Bet on the Pelicans?

As long as you are at least 21 years old and located in one of the 55 parishes where sports betting is approved, you can bet on the Pelicans. This includes both online and retail sportsbooks, although not every parish has an in-person location for bettors.

Pelicans Betting Promos

Currently, there are no new user Louisiana betting promos specifically for the Pelicans. Any of the sign up bonuses can be used to bet on the Pelicans and most operators will have ongoing promos to take advantage of, especially during the playoffs. Pels fans can expect to find odds boosts, parlay boosts, and bet insurance offers throughout the NBA postseason.

Pelicans Playoff History

In the 22 seasons that the Pelicans have been an NBA franchise, postseason success has evaded them. The Pelicans have been to the playoffs eight times and have only made it past the first round twice. In those two seasons, they were bounced in the very next round in the conference semifinals.

Have the Pelicans Ever Won Their Division?

The Pelicans have won their division once, which came back in the 2007-2008 season. The Pels have been in last place throughout the season, so winning the division is unlikely.
