Prediction: San Antonio Spurs
Bookmaker: 1xbet
On Monday evening, The San Antonio Spurs will have a match with the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center in a 2020-21 NBA game. The New Orleans Pelicans have lost eight of their last 9 games, which includes a 110-120 loss on Saturday over the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have the worst record in the Western Conference this season. Meanwhile, the Spurs are not in as bad a shape but have lost 4 of their last eight games. They are coming off a 121-101 of the Washington Wizards on Sunday night, so both travel and fatigue could be key factors when they meet the Pelicans.
The Spurs took care of business against the Washington Wizards, who did not play in two weeks to the league’s COVID-19 protocols. The blowout win has given head coach Gregg Popovich the chance to rest his top players like DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge. Still, against the Pelicans, they could take advantage of a team that has been on a downward spiral. As well as the disciplined Spurs offense could be too hot to handle for the struggling Pelicans.
Because of their last 9 games, the Pelicans are 28th (116.9) in the league in defensive rating. That could make them easy grain for the San Antonio Spurs if the Pelicans do not improve on that front. Considering the form they are in, anything but a Spurs win will be a surprise. But the team will need to guard off against self-satisfaction and overconfidence.
However, if the Spurs’ win against the Washington Wizards is anything to go by, the New Orleans Pelicans appear to have their task cut out.
