LiontipsGolden State vs New Orleans. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Warriors are not stopping and keep recording win after win. Team advanced to the play-in, because club is now on the ninth spot and has chances to climb to the eighth.
Golden State secured four victories in a row, they defeated Oklahoma twice, than had a sensational win over the West leader, Utah (119:116), and in the most recent game beat Phoenix (122:116). Stephen Curry was unstoppable as always, club is still fully on his shoulders.
Warriors are aiming to extend their streak, especially in a home game against the team, who lost any chance for the Top-10, so guests are unlikely to resist.
Pelicans disappointed their fans again, board should think about changing a head coach. Stan Van Gundy had a young and talented squad, but his game philosophy ruined everything.
Team started to play defensively, despite the fact that New Orleans is known for aggressive offense. Experiments like that led to a disastrous season. Now team can only analyze mistakes.
In the most recent game club lost to Dallas (107:125) on away. We didn't see any desire, any spirit from the guests, so it is a fair result. Now Pelicans are approaching the match against Golden State and we see no reason for the positive result.
