by Kennedy Kechula | in NBA Predictions
The Washington Wizards will welcome the New Orleans Pelicans for the second game of a back-to-back between the two. Both teams have struggled this season and sit in bottom place in their respective conferences. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Wizards lost 135-120 in the first matchup away in New Orleans. Now that they are home, they will be keen to return the favour. Brian Keefe’s men possess the worst record in the East and lie in 15th place with a 6-26 record.
This is also the second-worst record in the NBA. They however have seen sporadic success recently, claiming three of their six wins in their last eight games.

They have been the worst team in the league and have lost 29 times in 35 outings. CJ McCollum scored a game-high 50 points to drag his team to victory against the Wizards and was the only Pels player with 20 or more points.
