The San Antonio Spurs will play host to the New Orleans Pelicans at the Frost Bank Arena in the NBA on Sunday. The Spurs (31-14) are second in the Western Conference, while the Pels (11-36) are bottom of the standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The San Antonio Spurs seem to have rediscovered their rhythm lately, picking up their fourth win in five games on Thursday when they beat the Utah Jazz 126-109 on the road.
De’Aaron Fox scored 31 points, and Victor Wembanyama added 26. However, it was the Spurs’ defence that stood out with 11 blocks and eight steals, while forcing 16 turnovers.
San Antonio are 16-5 at home and have already beaten this opponent in all three encounters this season. Luke Cornet is listed as a doubt for the hosts due to a thigh injury.
Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans are enduring another dismal season, but they were able to pick up an against-the-odds victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, 133-127, on Friday night.
The Pels played arguably their best final quarter of the season, overturning an eight-point deficit to win by six. Sadiq Bey was excellent, scoring 36 points, while Trey Murphy and Zion Williamson combined for 56.
While New Orleans will hope to build on that result, they have only won four away games this season. Dejounte Murray is ruled out, and Jose Alverado is listed as questionable.
