Philadelphia 76ers vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King in NBA Predictions
Two teams on very different trajectories face off on Friday night in the NBA when the Philadelphia 76ers play host to the New Orleans Pelicans. The Sixers are currently seventh in the Eastern Conference with a 35-27 record while the Pels are fifth in the West with a record of 37-25. Philadelphia are in desperate need of a victory here as they continue to plummet down the East standings. An ugly 115-109 home loss to the depleted Memphis Grizzlies means that the team has now lost its last two in a row and six of its last 10 overall. Philly shot just 38% from the field in the defeat to Memphis, clearly missing offensive spark plug Tyrese Maxey who has now missed the last two games with a concussion and will miss out in this game as well. When Maxey doesn’t play, Philadelphia suffers, as they have now lost all seven games that he has missed in the 2023/24 campaign.
The Pelicans will be flying high coming into this matchup after blowing out the Raptors in Toronto by a score of 139-98 on Tuesday. The 41-point differential represents the biggest win for the Pelicans in the 2023/24 season and it directly came after a 27-point win over the Pacers last week. The back-to-back wins has New Orleans up to fifth in the West standings and looking to consolidate their position in the top six (which grants automatic playoff qualification). The visitors currently hold a slim half game lead over the sixth-placed Suns and a one game lead over the seventh-place Kings. New Orleans has been on a strong stretch of form overall in recent weeks, winning in seven of their last 10 appearances and improving their road record to 19-13 on the season.

Philadelphia 76ers - New Orleans Pelicans Key Points
- Despite an 0-7 record without Maxey this season, five of those losses were within six points.
- The Pelicans haven’t been too convincing in this spot, posting a 7-8 against the spread record as road favorites on the season.
- Only eight of the 33 home games (24%) that the 76ers have played this season have resulted in a defeat by nine or more points.
- This could be a good 'sell-high' spot on New Orleans as their two recent wins came against a pair of bottom 10 defensive teams in the Pacers without Haliburton and the Raptors without Barnes.

Our Philadelphia 76ers vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
This might be an overadjustment by the bookmakers as this line has now ballooned up to an almost double-digit number on the spread. While Philly will certainly miss Maxey out there, the rest of the team is getting borderline disrespected with this number. Cam Payne is a solid backup, plus they’ve gotten some excellent scoring production out of Oubre off the bench in the last three games. They’ll need Tobias Harris to bounce back with a strong showing after an abysmal 3-12 shooting night against Memphis, but the 76ers have the ability to keep this close at home. Our 76ers vs Pelicans prediction is for the 76ers +8.5.
