Advice and prediction
It’s still not easy to get a read on the Pelicans on a game-to-game basis, though they appear to be gaining some more consistency. What has been consistent is that Zion Williamson is absolutely unstoppable right now.
The Celtics already struggle to stop big men. In the last meeting this season between the two sides, he had 28 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Taking Williamson’s over 39.5 points, rebounds and assists tonight feels like a safe bet.
Prediction: Celtics 120, Pelicans 118
