New Orleans Pelicans at Golden State Warriors 2/23/20 - NBA Picks & Predictions

The New Orleans Pelicans look for their second straight victory on Sunday when visiting the Golden State Warriors. The Pelicans improved to 24-32 following a 128-115 victory on Friday over the Portland Trail Blazers. Zion Williamson led the Pelicans with 25 points and has scored 20 points or more in each of his last seven games. The Pelicans were aided by the fact Portland did not have leading scorer Damian Lillard in the lineup.

Brandon Ingram is the leading scorer for New Orleans with an average of 24.7 points per game, while Zion Williamson is the second leading scorer and leading rebounder with averages of 22.4 points and 7.2 rebounds per game Lonzo Ball is the assists leader for New Orleans with an average of 6.8 per game.

Golden State looks to snap a five-game losing streak when hosting the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. The Warriors fell to 12-44 following a 135-105 loss to the Houston Rockets on Thursday in the first game back from the NBA All-Star Game break. Andrew Wiggins led the Warriors in the loss with 22 points while Draymond Green handed out seven assists.

Andrew Wiggins is the leading scorer for Golden State with an average of 22.8 points per game, while Draymond Green is the leader in rebounding with an average of 6.3 per game and in assists with an average of 6.2 per game. Golden State has three players averaging double-figures in scoring.

Both New Orleans and Golden State are in last place in their respective divisions, but that doesn't keep the teams from scoring or giving up a lot of points each game. The play here is the OVER. The OVER has cashed in each of the Pelicans last 5 games and in four of New Orleans last five versus an opponent from the Western Conference.  The OVER has also cashed in 5 of the Warriors last 6 versus an opponent from the Western Conference. Final Score Prediction, New Orleans Pelicans win but our best play is OVER 124-119.
