This penultimate NBA inter-conference clash sees New Orleans travel to face Boston at TD Garden tonight. The Pelicans are 11th in the Western Conference at 26–54, while the Celtics sit second in the East at 54–26. Here is our prediction.
The Boston Celtics' four-game winning streak ended last night as they fell 112–106 away to the New York Knicks. Nevertheless, the 18-time NBA champions will be confident of bouncing back tonight.
They head into this contest on four consecutive wins at TD Garden and hold a solid 7–2 record in their last nine games overall. They haven't lost to the New Orleans Pelicans since 2021, winning all nine of their subsequent meetings.
The New Orleans Pelicans saw off the Utah Jazz 156–137 in their most recent outing. However, that victory only ended a lengthy eight-game losing streak for the Louisiana ball club. They have lost their last seven away games, including their last four trips to Boston.
Against the backdrop of their poor run of results and struggles against Boston, the Pelicans will look to turn the corner. Can they pull a shocker at TD Garden tonight?
