New Orleans Pelicans vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction and Betting Tips (14.04.2022)

Command Analysis

New Orleans Pelicans

USA

Stan Van Gundy's coaching style led the Pelicans nowhere, so club's board eventually decided to change the manager. Willie Green managed to raise the level of team's performance after bringing in some new players.

C.J. McCollum became an incredible player for the Pelicans, team also started to play better after return of Jonas Valanciunas and Brandon Ingram. New Orleans ended the regular season at 10th spot in the Western Conference and has a chance to fight for a play-off spot.

San Antonio Spurs

USA

Spurs reached the play-in round for the second season in a row, but in the previous season they failed to advance into the playoffs. Gregg Popovich's team managed to leave the Lakers out of play-in zone, it is pretty impressive. 73-year old head coach recently became the most successful coach in NBA history, topping the list of head coaches with most regular season wins.

San Antonio will try to beat New Orleans, club is pretty successful in head-to-head matches against the Pelicans. However, it will be just one match, so we can expect anything here.
