 by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions

The Brooklyn Nets and New Orleans Pelicans get their 2022/23 NBA season underway when they face off at the Barclays Center in New York. The Nets, despite all of the off-the-court drama surrounding the team for the past two seasons, still remain as one of the oddsmakers’ favorites to win the NBA championship. With odds of around 9/1, Brooklyn enters the season as the fifth favorite for the title according to most bookmakers. With superstars Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons, the Nets will be expected to compete for the number one seed in the Eastern Conference. They’ll face a stern test to open the year however, with this young Pelicans team a legitimate dark horse to make a surprising playoff run this season.

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.

Brooklyn Nets & New Orleans Pelicans Squad Analysis

The Pelicans have put together an exciting squad over the last few seasons. All eyes will of course be on Zion Willamson and whether or not the 22-year-old can stay healthy for the entire season. If Zion can play the majority of the Pels games, with pieces like Ingram, CJ McCollum and Jonas Valanciunas and Devonte Graham, this New Orleans team could surprise a few people. The big news surrounding the Nets will be Ben Simmons’ production and how he will fit into the team. The three-time All Star has been under unbelievable criticism for seemingly the past few years after sitting out the entirety of last season and struggling mightily with his shooting during his time in Philadelphia.

Brooklyn Nets - New Orleans Pelicans Key Points

  1. In the two preseason games where Simmons played over 25 minutes, he totaled 18 rebounds + assists against the Bucks and 14 rebounds + assists against the Heat.
  2. Simmons has career averages of 8.1 rebounds per game and 7.7 assists per game.
  3. Simmons averages 7.9 rebounds and 7.7 assists in his seven career games against the Pelicans.
  4. Simmons will get plenty of opportunities to grab rebounds and start the fast break without Aldridge, Griffin and Drummond on the team.

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. 

Prediction :

Ben Simmons over 13.5 rebounds + assists
