Advice and prediction
The Pelicans have lost five games in a row, have the worst record in the Western Conference (1-8) and have the unenviable task of facing a Warriors squad playing magnificent defense at the moment.
We’ve seen the Warriors start slowly in games, but Golden State is coming off two solid performances against the Thunder and Hornets, both of which resulted in double-digit wins and easy covers. If Brandon Ingram misses another game for the Pelicans, the big question is whether New Orleans can get to 95 points on Friday night.
I expected this spread to be even bigger, so I’m taking the Warriors minus-9.5 very comfortably.
Prediction: Warriors 117, Pelicans 97
