*Odds from DraftKings
Pelicans NBA Championship Odds
The Pels' championship odds are long at +750000 at bet365. Other Louisiana betting apps have New Orleans sitting near the bottom of the futures market as well, with DraftKings posting them at +80000. Regardless of the sportsbook, the Pelicans remain long shots across the board.
Pelicans Western Conference Odds
The Pelicans' Western Conference odds are +60000 at DraftKings, giving them a 0.2% chance. The New Orleans Pelicans are expected to have a difficult season, with many predicting a gloomy outcome due to their poor start and the struggles they faced last year.
Pelicans Playoff Chances
Similar to their other futures odds, the Pelicans' odds to make the playoffs aren’t promising. With just two wins, New Orleans has a +1800 line to make the postseason, a slim 5.3% chance. These odds will shift throughout the season, but the Pelicans have plenty of time to turn their season around and improve these odds.
Where Can I Bet on the Pelicans?
If you’re at least 21 and in a state where sports betting is legal, you can bet on the Pelicans through both online and retail sportsbooks. Louisiana approved sports betting in November 2020, with retail sportsbooks launching in October 2021 and mobile wagering going live on January 15, 2022.
Pelicans Betting Promos
Currently, there are no new user Louisiana betting promos specifically for the Pelicans. But 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 no sweat bet offers throughout the NBA season.

Pelicans Playoff History
In their 23-season history, the Pelicans have struggled to find postseason success. They’ve made the playoffs eight times but advanced past the first round only twice, and in both cases, their runs ended in the conference semifinals.
Have the Pelicans Ever Won Their Division?
The Pelicans have captured a division title just once, during the 2007–08 season. Last year, they finished with the Western Conference’s worst record, missing the playoffs after making a postseason run the year before. New Orleans is once again near the bottom of the conference to start this season.
