A Western Conference clash in the NBA sees the New Orleans Pelicans host the Denver Nuggets for this Sunday afternoon matchup. This is a matchup between the second and third seeds in the West as we pass the quarter mark in the season in what could very well end up being a potential playoff preview down the line. Both teams hold a 14-8 record but it’s the home team that come into this game in the better form, winning their last three compared to Denver that is coming off a loss.

New Orleans Pelicans & Denver Nuggets Squad Analysis
The big news from the New Orleans camp in the past two weeks has been the status of Brandon Ingram. The 25-year-old has been out since the team’s loss to the Grizzlies on November 25 and is set to miss out on this game again with an injured toe. Fortunately for the Pelicans, Zion Williamson has been playing at a near MVP level with some of his recent performances. The 22-year-old has scored 30 or more points in four of his last five games.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
We’re going to back the Pelicans to win this game and cover the -1 point spread. The odds opened with the Pels at +1 point underdogs but has since moved in favor of New Orleans. We agree with the market move as we don’t believe the Pelicans should be home underdogs with the way that they have been playing lately. Despite not having Ingram for this game, Zion Willamson has done enough to carry his squad in the recent weeks and is likely to have another huge game here. Back the home team to get it done and make it four straight wins.
