New Orleans Pelicans (5-24) will host Denver Nuggets (14-11) in a Western Conference clash on Sunday night at the Smoothie King Center. The Pelicans are having a season to forget, sitting last in the Conference with only one win over the previous 10 matches. They’ll be looking to end their six-game skid and add some belief to the squad ahead of next year. Their last matchup was against the Knicks at home, losing 93-104. They now face even a more formidable opponent in the Nuggets, who narrowly lost to the Blazers by a 2-point margin on Friday. Nikola Jokic continues to produce MVP-like performances, leading the team with 31 points per match and 9.8 assists. He should be eager to destroy the Pelicans on Sunday.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Surprisingly, the Pelicans have enjoyed some success against the Nuggets lately. They have won three of their last five meetings, winning the previous two at home while covering the spread. However, we don’t see them maintaining this record in their current form. They have the worst scoring record of 105.4 points per contest while giving up 117.1 points, which is ranked 26 in basketball. They’ll be facing one of the best NBA attacks, which averages 119.4 points per game. That’s fourth in basketball this season. The Pelicans could be in for a blowout loss here.
