The two worst teams in the NBA collide on Saturday morning as the 9-32 Indiana Pacers host the 10-33 New Orleans Pelicans. The Pacers are 15th in the East and the Pelicans their counterparts in the West in 15th. Who comes out on top? Read on for our prediction.
Although the Pacers are bottom of the East, they ended a 13-game losing streak in style with a winning streak of three, including wins over the Boston Celtics. This is the final game of a four-game homestand ahead of five on the road.
Their most recent game in that run was against the Toronto Raptors in midweek, ending up with a 101-115 loss. They have at least got some sort of record at home, 7-16 At the Gainbridge Fieldhouse as opposed to a dismal 2-16 when on the road.
That is a similar scenario for the Pelicans. They are 7-18 at home and just 3-15 where they find themselves travelling. The Denver Nuggets and Brooklyn Nets came to the Big Easy earlier in the week in back-to-back games resulting in a loss and a win.
This contest starts a run of nine in 11 on the road, although one place the Pelicans have been at least partially successful this season is in matchups against the East, 6-9 to this point.
