Pelicans vs Warriors prediction
The Warriors are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they're at home, but the value is with the Pelicans and the free buckets. The Warriors were taken to the wire last night by the Trail Blazers, and Klay is still questionable with a knee issue. The Warriors are fighting for better seeding in the play-in tournament, while the Pels are hoping to stay out of the play-in tournament. The Pelicans beat the Warriors by 36 points back in January. Give me the points with the road dog.
