New Orleans Pelicans vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
The Golden State Warriors aren’t a very deep team, so I’m not excited to see them without Curry and possibly Wiggins. The New Orleans Pelicans have the talent to be an above-average team in the West, and if that’s the case, they need to take advantage of games like this. We’re not being asked to lay much, and I don’t trust the Warriors without their best player. It’s early, but this is a must-win for the Pels if they’re to be taken seriously as a West contender. I’ll side with the Pelicans.
