The Golden State Warriors are hitting their stride, and the New Orleans Pelicans couldn't have picked a worse time to visit Chase Center. My Pelicans vs. Warriors prediction backs the red-hot home team.
Golden State enters Monday as a 78% favorite against a struggling New Orleans squad that's dropped two straight games.
Check out my NBA picks for November 9, and let's get to work!
TOP PICK
Pelicans vs Warriors prediction: Warriors -9.5
The Golden State Warriors have rattled off seven consecutive wins after opening the season 0-3, with Stephen Curry putting together another ridiculous stretch of basketball.
The two-time MVP is averaging 33.8 points on 73.3% true shooting during the winning streak, and he's fresh off a 41-point performance against Orlando.
The New Orleans Pelicans, meanwhile, are playing their second game in as many nights after surrendering 139 points to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. That's a difficult turnaround against a Warriors team that's won its first five games of this homestand.
Give me Curry, and give me the Warriors.
COVERS INTEL: Over their last seven games, the Warriors rank second in offensive rating (119.5), sixth in defensive rating (107.9), and first in 3-point shooting (41.9%). Golden State has been dominating both ends of the floor.
Pelicans vs Warriors combo
I don't see the Pelicans slowing the Warriors down on the second night of a back-to-back. Golden State's ball movement has been impressive during their winning streak, averaging 31 assists per game over its last seven contests, which should create plenty of opportunities for Draymond Green to facilitate.
With Curry leading the charge and Green pulling the strings, I'm expecting another strong offensive performance from the Warriors.
Pelicans vs Warriors combo
- Draymond Green 7+ assists
- Steph Curry 29+ points
- Warriors -9.5
Pelicans vs Warriors player props
Pelicans player prop: Zion Williamson 20+ points
Zion Williamson is shooting a ridiculous 62.8% from the field this season. He's coming off a perfect 9-for-9 shooting performance against the Clippers, finishing with 25 points, and has scored at least 23 in three of his last four games.
Williamson's ability to attack the paint and generate high-percentage looks makes another 20-point performance pretty damn realistic for us.
Warriors player prop: Draymond Green 7+ assists
Draymond is averaging 7.8 assists per game this season and recently dished out 11 against the Heat. Another big performance could be in the cards against one of the league's worst defensive teams, especially with plenty of points expected (the total sits at 232.5).
The Warriors rank second in the NBA in true shooting percentage, giving Green no shortage of opportunities to rack up assists and make his presence felt as a playmaker.
