The Pelicans are in last place in the Western Conference, but that hasn't stopped Willie Green's team from winning two of their last three games. Before the break in the regular season, New Orleans defeated Sacramento 140:133 (127:127) in overtime. Then, after the break, the Pelicans came out of the break with an away loss to Dallas - 103:111, and then, let's repeat, beat San Antonio at home (114:96).
Based on the results of the game against the Spurs the day before yesterday, we'd like to note Zion Williamson, who took advantage of Victor Vembanyama's absence and scored 22 points. Also, Karlo Matkovic had a great game - the Croatian forward, the Pelicans' rookie of the season, scored 19 points.
San Antonio
The Spurs could theoretically still qualify for the play-in round, but now without Victor Vembanyama, the Texans are unlikely to even compete for the top-10. The Frenchman is out until the end of the current championship due to health problems, and it is far from certain that he will be back in action by the start of the next championship.
San Antonio has already played three games after the pause at the MVP. Before the loss the day before yesterday in New Orleans, the Spurs beat Phoenix at home (120-109), but lost to Detroit (110:125). With a 24-31 record, San Antonio sits in 12th place in the Western Conference and is already 3.5 wins behind the top-10.
H2H Meetings
This season the rivals have exchanged victories, and last season New Orleans won three out of four games against San Antonio in the league.
Expert Betting Tips
Without Victor Vembanyama, San Antonio, as the first game against the Pelicans showed, has a tough time. We believe that this time the Pelicans will outplay the Spurs, and Zion Wilmanson will once again break the individual total. We also believe that the upcoming meeting will be more efficient than the one the day before yesterday.
