My Prediction
San Antonio Spurs by 3Ah, the San Antonio Spurs and the New Orleans Pelicans, about as interesting as watching paint dry. Let's dive in, shall we?
San Antonio, with a less than stellar 24-30 record, skip on down to New Orleans in a colorful attempt to improve their standings. Top player Victor Wembanyama is out due to injury complications, causing quite the stir in their lineup. Don't forget about De'Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell though, who've been holding steady with averages of 23 and 14 points per game in the last month.
On the other side, the Pelicans, with slightly more losses than Mardi Gras has beads, are banking on Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy III to bring the heat. But here's the rub, folks, Dejounte Murray and BJ Boston are both out for the count due to injuries. That's got to sting more than crawfish juice in the eye.
Looking to the past, the Spurs have come out on top more often in recent face-offs. And while the Pelicans took a whooping during the last encounter, the games are generally close calls.
Adding to the drama, New Orleans took a hit in their last few games, while San Antonio seemed to be finding their groove.
My keyboard is shaking with anticipation.
