Grizzlies vs Pelicans Prediction 11/13/2026 NBA Picks Today

Grizzlies vs Pelicans Prediction

I said a week ago that the Pelicans let you down once you start to have a little bit of faith. They put together a little winning streak and, since then, are 0-4 SU and ATS in their last four games. While there’s talent on this roster, the Pelicans show us year after year that they’re not a serious franchise. The Grizzlies have come back to earth, but they’re still 7-4 SU and ATS on the season. The Grizzlies also have yet to lose a game on the road. This is also a revenge spot for the Grizzlies after losing to the Pelicans 11 days ago in overtime.

There’s a long history of the Pelicans letting me down, and I’m not falling for it any longer. The Grizzlies have been the better team this season, and we’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me the Grizzlies on Friday night.
