Smart Game Analysis
San Antonio Spurs has a 78% chance of winning the game
The Spurs are poised to sweep the season series against a decimated Pelicans roster that has lost 15 of its last 16 games.
Key Analysis
- • New Orleans is severely handicapped offensively with Zion Williamson, Dejounte Murray, and Jordan Poole all ruled out.
- • San Antonio's backcourt of De'Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell holds a significant scoring and playmaking edge over the Pelicans' young guards.
- • The Pelicans possess the league's 28th-ranked defense, allowing an average of 123.2 points per game.
- • San Antonio has dominated the head-to-head matchup this season, winning both previous meetings comfortably.
- • Momentum heavily favors the Spurs, who have won 7 of their last 10 games compared to the Pelicans' six-game losing streak.
- • New Orleans must get a massive scoring outburst from Trey Murphy III to compensate for their lack of depth.
