Brooklyn Nets - New Orleans Pelicans: Form Analysis
The Nets had an up-and-down preseason, losing their first two games against the Sixers and Heat before bouncing back with wins over the Bucks and TWolves to ultimately end 2-2. 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. The Nets had to battle to the final few days of the 2021/22 season just to make the playoffs with a 44-38 record and be swept by Boston in the first round.

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.
