San Antonio Spurs vs New Orleans Pelicans Tips:
Both teams are outside the playoff zone, but there is still a chance to clinch it. The Spurs lack stability, although they have been very good at times.
The Pelicans have clear defensive problems as they allow opponents to average 47.8 percent shooting. They also lack Williamson’s presence on the floor.
With the Spurs playing at home, we think they will be closer to success, especially as Derrick White and Dejounnte Murray will have a good opportunity to rehabilitate for the failure in the previous game.
