New Orleans Pelicans (6-29) versus Portland Trail Blazers (11-22) is a Western Conference matchup on Wednesday night at the Smoothie King Center.

The Pelicans will play the Wizards and the Timberwolves before playing the Blazers, who have equally struggled this season.

On top of that, they are on a two-game slide and will play the Bucks and the Pistons on the road before visiting New Orleans.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

Both sides will be fighting to turn their seasons around. The Pelicans have struggled for most of the season primarily due to injuries to key players like Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram. However, they could soon have the luxury of fielding a more competitive lineup, with the star duo set to return this month. The Blazers, on the other hand, have struggled defensively, with coach Chauncey Billups recently saying he is not happy with his defense. They have conceded 117.2 points per contest, ranked 23rd in basketball. Still, they have what it takes to beat the Pelicans.
