New Orleans vs Memphis Prediction: the Pelicans Can't Do Anything Against the Opponent

Prediction for the NBA match between New Orleans vs Memphis, which will take place on December 28th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

New Orleans

The Pelicans played against Houston at home yesterday. Willie Green's team surprisingly beat the Rockets by 29 assists to 19, but lost by almost 20 points (111-128). It's important to remember that New Orleans has not yet had the chance to play as a full team. C.J. McCollum and Dejonte Murray are playing, but Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson are watching their team's games from the bench.

New Orleans lost to Houston and suffered their eighth straight defeat, moving into last place in the Western Conference. The Pelicans have won only five times and lost 26 times. They are already more than 10 wins behind the top 10 teams.

Memphis

The Grizzlies also played against Toronto yesterday and, as we said before, played one of the best games in their history. Taylor Jenkins' team beat the Eastern Conference outsider by more than 150 points (155:126). At the same time, eight Memphis players finished the game with double-digit points, while Zach Eadie and Jaren Jackson shared the lead with 21 points each.

This means that Memphis is still one of the teams to watch in the Western Conference this season. The Grizzlies have won 13 out of their last 16 games. Memphis is third in the Western Conference with 21 wins and 10 losses, and has the best offence this season, scoring almost 123 points on average per game.

Expert Betting Tips

The Grizzlies have been very difficult to stop lately, especially the last team in the Western Conference, which is New Orleans. The season for the Pelicans is virtually over. The team from Louisiana has lost confidence and is struggling. We predict that Memphis will win with ease in a game that will be full of the team's usual attacking prowess. We'll also take the Pelicans' fouls.
