The New Orleans Pelicans are desperate to end their losing streak but face an upbeat Denver Nuggets, who have had an upper hand against their opponents in recent matches. This NBA Western Conference match between the 12th-placed Pelicans and the 9th-placed Nuggets could be a high-scoring one with our match prediction backing over 235.5 points.
The Pelicans have a 4-8 win-loss record and are 6.5 games behind the leaders. Only three teams are below them in the West. The Nuggets are 6-4 and are 3.5 games behind.
The Pelicans were beaten 142-111 by the Memphis Grizzlies at home, extending their losing streak to five matches. This is a worrying trend, as the New Orleans have also lost four games in a row earlier in the season. Three of their recent defeats have come in a row at home, against the Grizzlies, the Nets, and the Timberwolves.
The Nuggets also played the Grizzlies last but won 123-118 away from home. That was their fifth win in the last seven games (L2), but they could never win more than two in a row – although one of the earlier wins was against the Pelicans. Their record on the road is slightly better, with four wins from their last five games away from home – the only loss in that sequence came against the Houston Rockets.
