New Orleans Pelicans (2-12) and Atlanta Hawks (9-5) will clash at the Smoothie King Center on Saturday night. The Pelicans have struggled to keep up in the Western Conference this season, sitting at the bottom of the standings, 11.5 games behind the Hawks. They have struggled to keep Zion Williamson fit, and their offensive record has been subpar. Their poor form has seen them fire Willie Green, with Darvin Ham of the Bucks leading the race to succeed him.
Atlanta Hawks, on the other hand, are doing well in the Eastern Conference. They are fourth in the standings, just three games behind the high-flying Pistons. The Hawks have been on fire away from home this season, winning seven of their nine assignments. In their latest away game, they defeated the Suns 122-124, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker leading the charge with 26 points. The Hawks will play the Spurs on the road on Thursday night before travelling to New Orleans.

Our Atlanta Hawks vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
The Pelicans will have to win at some point and pull themselves out of the bottom of the Conference. They could have Zion Williamson back from a hamstring injury, although Dejounte Murray is out until early next year. Their attack is last in the 2025-26 NBA standings, having scored an average of 108.2 PPG. They could struggle against the defensively sound Hawks, who have conceded an average of 113.11 on the road this season. The Hawks could also have Kristaps Porzingis fit for this matchup. However, Trae Young will continue to recover from his knee injury until the end of November. Still, they have what it takes to bring down the limping Pelicans.
