The Golden State Warriors (8-6) visit the New Orleans Pelicans (2-10) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Sunday, November 16, at the Smoothie King Center.
The Pelicans usher in a new era, firing head coach Willie Green and moving associate head coach James Borrego to the helm. The 48-year-old Borrego previously had head coaching stints with the Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets, compiling a record of 148 wins and 183 losses.
Still, the Pels have dropped four straight games and are reeling after a 118-104 home defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers in NBA Cup play. Through 12 games, New Orleans ranks 26th in offensive rating (110.1) and 28th in defensive rating (123.2). They have major problems on both ends of the floor, not to mention injuries to key players Dejounte Murray, Jordan Poole, and Zion Williamson.
Meanwhile, the Warriors look to build on their recent surge after back-to-back comeback wins over the San Antonio Spurs, highlighted by Stephen Curry exploding for 46 and then 49 points to help snap their road struggles.
Curry, who is turning 38 in a few months, is averaging 29.1 points on 39.1% three-point shooting this season.
