New Orleans Pelicans
Three days ago, the Pelicans ended their losing streak. In that game, the Louisiana team left no chances for Dallas on their home court. Unexpectedly, Jordan Hawkins shone for New Orleans, scoring 26 points and becoming the highest-scoring player of the match. Thanks to his efforts, they secured a victory with a score of 131:110. It’s worth noting that New Orleans is still playing without Larry Nance and Trey Murphy, who are sidelined due to injuries.
Denver Nuggets
Denver won their last game, although the victory was not easy. The Clippers were their opponents, and it was a tough match. The Nuggets secured a victory with a score of 111:108. Denver has its own setback, as they play without Jamal Murray. However, his absence does not significantly affect the team’s performance.
Prediction
The Pelicans significantly trail behind Denver. Yes, they won the last game, but we don't believe they can secure a second consecutive victory over such a strong opponent. Most likely, this time, the team from Louisiana will face failure, even on their home court. Our prediction Denver with a handicap (-2.5) points at odds of 1.74. If you look at the Pelicans' recent games, you can see that they played at a slower pace and paid a lot of attention to defense. Considering this, we assume that the match will not be high-scoring. Prediction total points under 227.5; you can place this bet at odds of 1.70. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.74. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
