The Portland Trail Blazers are listed as slight -110 favorites ahead of their clash with the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center on Friday.
Best Pick: The Blazers at -110 Moneyline (Win $200 Payout on $110 Bet @ FanDuel).
Current Form:
The Blazers target their third win in four games when they take on the promising but still inexperienced Pelicans on the road. Portland took down Boston (114-108) and Dallas (125-122) before succumbing to the might of the defending champions, the OKC Thunder (95-124), on New Year’s Eve. Deni Avdija is making a solid case for All-Star consideration, averaging 25.3 points and 6.9 assists this season.
After racking up five wins in a row mid-December, the Pelicans find themselves on a 0-5 slump. New Orleans absorbed its latest loss against the Chicago Bulls (118-134) on December 31. Zion Williamson pumped up 31 points and 7 rebounds and Jordan Poole fired 26 points off the bench. New Orleans shot 43 percent from the field as a team and allowed the Bulls to convert 51 percent of their field-goal attempts.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
Fearless Forecast: I am taking the Blazers to win this matchup. Portland owns a 4-1 record against New Orleans in their last five meetings. Although the Pelicans dismantled the Blazers 143-120 in their last meeting on December 11, 2025, New Orleans is not in a good shape right now after five consecutive losses. Additionally, New Orleans is 3-16 SU in its last 19 games against an opponent in the Western Conference, which underscores the team’s struggle against their rivals in the West. Watch out for Deni Avdija to put up terrific numbers in this game. The Blazers star scored 32 points in their first meeting season on November 12 before finishing with 16 in the second game vs. the Pels on December 11.
Our betting prediction for the Portland Trail Blazers vs. the New Orleans Pelicans: The Blazers will win.
