Betting on the Golden State Warriors
This will be the Golden State Warriors’ final game on their current road trip, and the defending NBA champions will already be looking forward to it considering they come into this game having lost their last four games in a row, and have yet to win a single game away from home all season.
Yesterday, they lost 130-129 to the Orlando Magic after missing the last shot of the game, in a game where Stephen Curry once again surpassed 30 points scored, which he has done in seven of his nine appearances so far this season.
Betting on the New Orleans Pelicans
Although the New Orleans Pelicans currently find themselves with a positive record, the team will want to put the inconsistency behind them after their last five games alternated between wins and losses. However, considering the last of those games was a 120-117 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, they might want to keep that trend.
That last loss came after a last-second three-pointer caused OT, where they eventually lost to their rivals. Now, they’ll play their third home game of the regular season, where they are 1-1.
JefeBet Prediction
The Golden State Warriors’ main problem this early in the season has been defense, allowing an average of 122.2 points per game. Moreover, three of their four games on their current road trip saw them allow a minimum of 120 points.
This will be music to the ears of a Pelicans team that is averaging 118.3 points per game, which is the best figure in the NBA, and will be well rested after not seeing action since Nov. 2.
The same cannot be said for the Warriors, who will play on consecutive days for the second time in less than a week: the last time this happened, they lost 128-114 to the Detroit Pistons,one of the worst teams in the East, so this match is expected to be a very difficult one where the home team will be the main favorite.
Prediction: New Orleans Pelicans Spread (GSW 115 – NOP 122)
