On the other side, the Pelicans will come into this game in high spirits after going 4-1 in the preseason. New Orleans will be aiming to finish higher than their 36-46 record which earned them the eighth seed last season.

Our Brooklyn Nets vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
We’re going to back Nets point guard Ben Simmons to have over 13.5 combined rebounds + assists as our bet for this game. The main knock on Simmons throughout his career has of course been his shooting and to a lesser extent his overall scoring. The 26-year-old is a pass-first player who has never had any trouble racking up assist numbers throughout his career. With the extremely efficient Durant and Kyrie set to be benefiting from his dishes, Simmons could very well end up averaging a career high in his assist totals this season.
