The New Orleans Pelicans play host to the Charlotte Hornets at Smoothie King Center in an NBA cross-conference clash. The Pelicans are anchored at the bottom of the Western Conference table, while the Hornets are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference. Here's our match prediction.
The New Orleans Pelicans have the worst record in the Western Conference, and that doesn't come as a surprise. They are the only side that has yet to win a game, losing six consecutive matches.
Their struggles have been well-reported, and that has to do with their bad offense and defense this season. They are the fourth-worst team in offensive efficiency and the second-worst in defensive efficiency.
Last time out, the Pelicans wrapped up their three-game road trip with a 137-106 defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The talented Zion Williamson led the team with 20 points.
Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets managed to end their three-game skid with a visit from the Utah Jazz. At the Spectrum Center, they secured a 126-103 victory to wrap up their three-game homestand.
In that match, Miles Bridges led the team with a game-high 29 points. Sharpshooter Kon Knueppel contributed 24 points to the cause. As a team, they shot 48.86% from the field and 41.86% from the three-point range (3PT%).
Away from home, their performance needs improving as they've lost two of their last three outings.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
The Pelicans are playing at one of the slowest paces in the league. With their defensive and offensive efficiency among the worst in the league this season, this could lead to their demise once again, and even their talented player, Zion Williamson, cannot do anything about it.
The Hornets are worth a pick in this one despite being labeled as underdogs. Indeed, they have struggled in this fixture, but at the moment, they are performing much better than their opponents. That said, a second straight win is undoubtedly on the cards. Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Charlotte Hornets prediction: Charlotte Hornets wins.
