My Prediction
New Orleans Pelicans by 7Alright, if you've ever wondered what happens when the immovable object meets the stoppable force, have I got a game for you. The Washington Wizards are heading down to the Big Easy to play against the New Orleans Pelicans, and let me tell you, this is everyone's opportunity to take a bathroom break.
The Wizards are limping into this matchup with a 6-25 record, visibly throwing calendar pages for the off-season and praying for a miracle draft pick. Their shining beacon, though? Jordan Poole. With an average of 22.6 points per game over the last month, the kid's trying to carry the whole team on his back. But let's pour one out for Bilal Coulibaly, who won't be joining us tonight due to injury. It's not like his 12.9 points per game were holding the fort, but every bit counts, right?
Then we've got the Pelicans who are doing their best impersonation of a flightless bird with a 5-29 record. Their talons to victory? Dejounte Murray and CJ McCollum both have been carving out impressive numbers, particularly McCollum rocking an average of 21.8 points over the last month. However, they'll be playing without Brandon Ingram, who's been benched with a bummed knee, taking his 17.0 points from the last month with him.
Looking at the history of these ornithological adversaries, the Pelicans have been squawking victory in the most recent encounters, including a ten-point victory last February. But let's not get our feathers ruffled, neither of these teams have been setting the court aflame with their games lately.
So, my prediction related to this professionally choreographed bounce-pass ballet? Grab your pillows because we might see the basketball Equivalent of a Tesla in power-saving mode designed by a narcoleptic.
