New Orleans Pelicans

Warriors vs Pelicans Pickswise Expert Predictions

Game Totals Pick
Under 224.5(-110)

With half their team out injured, the Golden State Warriors have limped their way to New Orleans to take on a Pelicans team they’ve beaten in both meetings so far this season. Sweeping the regular season series will be a challenge considering how many important players are missing, but then again we just saw the Warriors beat the Denver Nuggets in this state on Sunday. It was their 2nd game in a row with 20+ threes, which is quite the feat considering the absence of Stephen Curry in both of those games.

New Orleans also has a couple of really good players out for this game, including their leading scorer Trey Murphy III. But just like the Warriors, the Pelicans too defied all odds and beat the Philadelphia 76ers over the weekend despite not having their leading scorer available. The win was only their 4th in 13 home games, but it was the 5th time in 7 games they were able to cover the spread in the underdog role. The oddsmakers see them as underdogs once again, but only by 1.5 points. Golden State has won 4 of the last 5 meetings at Smoothie King Center.

It’s hard to get a good read on this game due to all the injuries and absences of both rosters. The projected total has been set to 224.5 points which does sound a tad too high, only 200 points were scored in the most recent meeting between these two teams. The under has cashed 4 times in 5 head-to-head games, and the Pelicans have gone 5 consecutive games under the total vs Western Conference opponents as well. I’ll be sticking with that trend and backing the under here.

Warriors vs Pelicans prediction: Under 224.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
