Command Analysis
Current form
The Pelicans had a tough away match against the Phoenix Suns on the floor of the Footprint Center the day before. The meeting turned out to be a real drama and ended with a minimal defeat of the guests — 116:118. At the same time, the team from Louisiana showed character. The Pelicans started the match confidently and won the opening quarter with a score of 29:26. But then the hosts gradually seized the initiative, and by the end of the third period, the scoreboard showed 92:78 in favor of Phoenix. It seemed that the intrigue was gradually fading, but New Orleans staged a real assault in the final quarter.
The team scored 35 points, dramatically increased the pressure in attack and reduced the gap to a minimum. Literally one precise possession was missing before overtime. The most productive player was Trey Murphy III with 22 points. Zion Williamson and Saddiq Bey added 19 apiece. However, the season remains difficult for the team — at the moment the club has 20 wins and 45 losses, which leaves it at the bottom of the Western Conference table.
Current form
On March 6, Washington hosted the Utah Jazz at the Capital One Arena and lost 112:122. The game started extremely poorly for the capital team. Already in the first quarter, Utah seized control of the match, winning the segment 37:23. The guests actively attacked from behind the arc and quickly created a solid lead. In the second quarter, the situation only got more complicated for the hosts. By the big break, the Jazz was already 67:49. After a pause, the Wizards tried to change the course of the meeting: the team revived in attack and won the third quarter 35:26, significantly reducing the gap.
But it didn't work out to completely turn the game around. In the final segment, Utah calmly held the advantage and brought the match to victory. One of the most notable players in Washington was Julian Rees, with 18 points and an impressive 20 rebounds, which helped him dominate the ring. Trey Young added 12 points and 6 assists. Nevertheless, the defeat left the Wizards among the outsiders of the Eastern Conference — the team has only 16 wins with 46 losses.

1.76Tip and bets
The Pelicans just lost to Phoenix, but the nature of that encounter speaks volumes. The team stayed in the game until the last minute and showed good variation in attack. Trey Murphy III and Zion Williamson were especially noticeable — it is through them that most of the attack is built. Washington continues to suffer from instability. The loss to Utah once again showed the team's vulnerability on defense. Already in the first half of the match, the Wizards allowed their opponent to create a serious gap, and it turned out to be too difficult to catch up afterwards. If the Pelicans can maintain the attacking pace they showed in the game against Phoenix, then they must control the rhythm of the meeting.
Our prediction is that New Orleans will win with a handicap of (-6.5) points in 1.72
