New Orleans Pelicans

The Pelicans have approached the top ten in the West, although catching up with Portland is not an easy task. The team has added recently, but this is far from what the fans were counting on at the beginning of the season.

Of course, Zion Wilmson's injury affected the game, as only one leader remained on the floor, who was Brandon Ingram. In the last away game New Orleans confidently dealt with New York (102-91). As you can see, Stan Van Gundy's wards can perform much better, but there are not enough personnel ahead of the home match against the "pacers", who began to show signs of life.

Indiana Pacers

Ricky Carlyle is trying his best to rebuild the team, but it's hard to say that he succeeds. Recently, the club has begun to win more often, although it is still not possible to get out of the top three outsiders of the East.

Indiana was able to beat the Lakers (111-104) and dealt with the Golden State (121-117) in overtime. Of course, two victories over top rivals added confidence, but the last match against the leader of the West ended in a fiasco. "Phoenix" competently approached the confrontation and put the "pacers" in their place (103-113). New Orleans isn't that scary, but the Pacers will still have to play on the road.

Prediction

This season Indiana is not able to demonstrate a stable game on the road, in principle, and in general, the club does not act very well. Wards of Ricky Carlisle aim to get out of the three outsiders of the East, but there are a lot of problems now.

“New Orleans” has won the last three home matches. The team has become one step closer to its goal, because it has approached the top 10 West. In our opinion, Brandon Ingram and company will take advantage of the opponent's failures in defense and secure the victory.

Our prediction is New Orleans Pelicans to win with overtime for odds of 1.85 in 1xBet bookmaker.

We assume that both teams are in such a situation that playing on defense is clearly not an option. The hosts are going for their fourth home victory in a row, so the guests will have to respond sharply, according to the expectation of a productive meeting.

Second bet is for a total over 208.5 points for 1.51.
