Command Analysis

New Orleans Pelicans

Current form
Things are not going well for New Orleans, to put it mildly - five defeats in the last six matches speak for themselves. The last away match against Detroit ended in an embarrassing setback with a score of 130:136. It would seem that the game was kept on a fine line, but the ending remained for the hosts. The only bright spot for the Pelicans was the phenomenal performance of C.J. McCollum – 40 points, five rebounds and seven assists. Jordan Hawkins also kept up, scoring 25 points. However, individual achievements are of little comfort to Willie Green's team, which, with 19 wins and 53 losses, has long lost its playoff chances and is closing the Western Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
The composition of the Pelicans is far from optimal. The key players of the starting five, Dejonte Murray and Trey Murphy, will miss the meeting due to medical reasons. There are also several rotation basketball players missing, which makes the task for the upcoming match even more difficult.
Interesting facts for betting
New Orleans has averaged 109 points in the last ten head-to-head matches.
The Pelicans have won their last three meetings against Philadelphia.
Approximate composition: Jose Alvarado, C.J. McCollum, Zion Williamson, Kelly Olynyk, Eve Missy.

Philadelphia 76ers

Current form
Philadelphia is also going through hard times. Four defeats in a row, and even without their leader Joel Embiid, sounds alarming to Sixers fans. The last match against Atlanta turned out to be a real rout – 119:132. The best loser was Quentin Grimes, who scored 26 points, adding five rebounds and six assists. Justin Edwards also contributed 22 points. However, this was not enough. Nick Ners' team, with 23 wins and 48 losses, ranks 13th in the East and looks like it's already mentally wrapping up the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
For Philadelphia, staffing problems are a real nightmare. Embiid, who has already played only 19 games this season, is out of the game again. Added to this are the losses of Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre, Paul George, Kyle Lowry, Andre Drummond and a number of other substitutes. In fact, the Sixers are currently in crisis mode.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last ten games against New Orleans, Philadelphia has averaged 109 points.
Approximate composition: Jared Butler, Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards, Gershon Yabusele, Ricky Council.

1.87Tip and bets
The season for both teams, to put it mildly, did not go well. The Pelicans are just playing out the championship to their heart's content, while Philadelphia is trying to cope with an all-out roster crisis. In this situation, the guests have few chances, even against a team that also has no tournament ambitions left. Green's team, with the support of their home crowd, must take the victory.
Our prediction is that New Orleans will win by a handicap of (-5.5) points, including overtime, in 1.76
Bet on the total
Despite the unsuccessful season, both teams do not forget about the attack. On average, their face-to-face meetings end with a total of 217 points. Everything suggests that this time we will see spectacular and productive basketball.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 235.5 points, including overtime, in 2.05
The bet for the first quarter
The Pelicans have won the opening 12 minutes in five of their last seven games against Philadelphia. Given the Sixers' problems with the lineup, the hosts may well take the first quarter again.
Our prediction is a 1.66 win for New Orleans in the first quarter.
