Two of the bottom six teams in the NBA Western Conference will clash in a crucial fixture when the New Orleans Pelicans welcome the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night. This match at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans between the 14th-placed Pelicans (0-3) and the 10th-placed Nuggets (1-2) could be a tight one, and our match prediction is under 240.5 points.
The Pelicans were beaten 141-135 by the Nuggets in their latest game, so this is a chance to take revenge. The Pelicans have also lost to Utah and Indiana this season. The Nuggets are coming off a 134-114 loss to the Golden State Warriors, while the win against the Pelicans was preceded by a 96-84 defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Over their last ten games, the Pelicans have averaged 120.3 games and have lost 13 of their last 14 NBA regular season games. Their shooting remains a problem with only 47% success from the field.
The Nuggets have lost six of their last eight matches in the regular season, including two this season. They average 111.2 points over the last 10 games, while their shooting percentage of 45% from the field is a concern. When these sides last met, it was Jamal Murray (42) leading the Nuggets, while the Pelicans were led by Trey Murphy III (26).
