Golden State Warriors vs New Orleans Pelicans Preview

Thu, Mar 24th. 17:30 pm (UK time)

The Warriors have shot the ball well recently, excluding their last game. They are currently sitting in the 6th spot with a 39-37 record after suffering a loss to the Timberwolves where they only scored 96 points. Although fatigue may play a part tonight, the Warriors have been a championship-calibre team for the last decade, and their championship mentality needs to be on point tonight. We believe they will put on a show like they did numerous times this (and past) season.

They are averaging almost 120 points per game (2nd in the NBA) and on home court, where they’ve been almost flawless this number is even higher at 120.7. They had a stormy shooting night against the Wolves, and an experienced team like the Warriors will not let this happen 2 times in a row during a playoff push. The Warriors are 30-8 this season at home. A. Wiggins remains sidelined due to undisclosed reasons while A. Iguodala is out due to an abdominal injury.

The Pelicans are on a 5-game winning streak where they are averaging more than 122.5 points per game. They have entered playoff mode and they have managed to win some close games to keep themselves in the playoff conversation. They are sitting on a 38-37 record and are direct competitors with the Warriors for the 5th and 6th spots. They are coming off a blowout victory against the Blazers last night, where they managed to rest key players for this crucial game. We believe they will be able to export enough offence tonight against the weak Warrior’s defence which will help us get over the line in the end.
