Golden State Warriors:

At the start of the season, the Warriors’ calendar is very light. For the most part, the Warriors are playing the weakest teams in the league. Not surprisingly, they’re coming off wins. Steve Kerr’s team has suffered one defeat so far. They did so against Memphis Grizzlies (101-104). Stephen Curry and company won the rest of their games.

Golden State played their most recent games against the Oklahoma Thunder and Charlotte Hornets. The Warriors had no problems in those meetings. The Thunder were defeated 103-82 and the Pelicans were defeated 114-92.

New Orleans Pelicans:

New Orleans Pelicans confirm their status as the league’s weakest team. Poor management has led the Pelicans to become one of the underdogs. Green’s team has suffered eight defeats in their opening nine games. They’ve only miraculously managed to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Injuries to their top players make things worse. For example, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram are out. Their absence has a significant impact on the Pelicans’ offensive game. Without them, Green’s team doesn’t always get as many as 100 points a game.

Golden State Warriors vs New Orleans Pelicans statistics:

Golden State Warriors have 29.3 assists per game in the current NBA regular season, while the New Orleans Pelicans have 22.7.

The New Orleans Pelicans have 15.3 losses per game on average in the current regular season.

In 3 of their last 5 games, the Warriors have not won in the first quarter.

Golden State Warriors vs New Orleans Pelicans Tips:

With opponents like the Pelicans, the Golden State Warriors are very confident. Oklahoma, for example, were beaten by 21 points, while in the game against Charlotte they had a 22-point lead.

We have our doubts about New Orleans’ chances. Kerr’s men will probably do well against the visitors. 

Our first prediction and bet is a Warriors’ easy win with a -7 points handicap with the odds of 1.65 with the VBet bookmaker.

The Warriors, of course, are very successful in attack. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for New Orleans. The Pelicans could very well fail in the upcoming meeting, so the 217.5-point mark is unlikely to be broken.

Our second prediction is total match points under 217.5 with the odds of 1.66 with the VBet bookmaker.
