Betting on the New Orleans Pelicans
- Regular Season Record: 30-29
The Pelicans are currently struggling due to Zion Williamson’s prolonged absence from the court. The star player has suffered a hamstring injury relapse and there is no confirmed date for his return.
However, there is some positive news for the Pelicans as Brandon Ingram is currently performing at his best. In the month of February, he has been averaging 30.1 points, 5 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and an impressive 52.3% shooting from the field. The team will heavily rely on Ingram’s consistent performance to stay in the Play-In tournament or potentially achieve a better result in the remainder of the regular season.
Betting on the New York Knicks
- Season record: 33-27
The Knicks closed the first half of the season on a high note and now the team’s goal is to catch up with the Nets and Cavaliers.teams that occupy the fifth and fourth positions in the East respectively. Judging by the way they have been playing, it certainly looks like a very feasible mission.
Led by Jalen Brunson, who is averaging 31.9 points in the month of February, Tom Thibodeau’s team looks like a very solid team that can give more than one headache in the playoffs.
JefeBet Prediction
This will be the first meeting between Knicks and Pelicans in the current season. The second duel will take place during the month of April in New Orleans.
Considering that the Knicks have their entire roster available and the Pelicans are without Williamson, we at JefeBet are leaning towards a win for the Madison Square Garden team on Saturday night.
