Command Analysis

New Orleans Pelicans

Current form
New Orleans is going through hard times: in the last seven matches, the team has suffered five defeats. However, in the previous meeting on March 25, the Pelicans confidently dealt with Philadelphia on their floor — 112:99. The hosts took control of the game from the first minutes, winning the opening three quarters, and only slowed down slightly in the last segment. The performance leader was Carlo Matkovic, who scored 19 points. Antonio Reeves added 17, and Yves Missy added 16. Kelly Olynyk scored a double-double (14 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists). Elfrid Payton was the best in rebounds (14).
Despite this victory, Willie Green's team has already lost even mathematical chances of making the playoffs and is on the 14th line of the Western Conference (20 wins, 53 losses). The remaining matches will only be an opportunity for players to prove themselves and gain experience.
Disqualifications and injuries
Back in January, the main point guard, Dejonte Murray, suffered a serious injury that left him out of the game for the rest of the season. He was joined in the infirmary by three key performers at once — Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy and CJ McCollum. The losses are significant, and without these players, the Pelicans can hardly expect success even in individual matches.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last ten face-to-face meetings, New Orleans and Golden State averaged 215 points.The Pelicans lost to the Warriors three games in a row.
Approximate composition: Jose Alvarado, Bruce Brown, Carlo Matkovic, Kelly Olynyk, Yves Missy.

Golden State Warriors

Current form
Golden State has won twice in the last five meetings, but the previous match was a real failure. On March 26, the Warriors, without Stephen Curry, were defeated by Miami (86:112). The guests managed to win only the third quarter, and completely lost in all the others. Jonathan Cuminga (15 points) and Brandin Podziemski (14) became the best in the Golden State team. Gui Santons scored 13 points, Jimmy Butler scored 11, and Buddy Heald scored ten.
Steve Kerr's team currently ranks seventh in the West (41 wins, 31 losses) and continues to fight for a direct ticket to the playoffs. Winning the upcoming game is extremely important to maintain the chances of getting into the top 6.
Disqualifications and injuries
Stephen Curry was injured a week ago, but his participation in the next match is not ruled out. The head coach said that the superstar of the team has already returned to training and can go out on the floor.
Interesting facts for betting
Golden State has 49 wins over New Orleans during the regular season, while the Pelicans have only 28 games won.
Approximate line-up: Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green.

1.87Tip and bets
New Orleans is no longer competing for anything this season, and Golden State is in a fierce battle for a place in the top 6. This game is crucial for the Warriors, and they will come out on the floor extremely motivated. The Pelicans' losses make them almost defenseless against the attacking power of the guests. If Curry really plays, New Orleans will have almost no chance.
Our prediction is a Golden State victory with a handicap of (-12.5) points in 1.71
Betting on an individual total
Golden State's average of points scored in the season is 112.1, and away even higher — 113.9. In two of the last three meetings with the Pelicans, this mark has been successfully overcome. Taking into account the current level of protection of the hosts, the guests will certainly be able to hold an effective match.
Our betting tip is that Golden State's individual total is more than 119.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
The bet for the first quarter
Golden State has won the first quarter in five of its last seven games against New Orleans. Historically, the Pelicans have a hard time starting matches against the Warriors, and Steve Kerr's team will certainly try to immediately identify their advantage.
Our prediction is a 1.51 win for Golden State in the first quarter.
