San Antonio will travel to New Orleans on Saturday for a battle versus the Pelicans. For the latest NBA betting trends and NBA free picks on Sunday’s game, check out our Pelicans vs Spurs preview below.
San Antonio Looking For Three In A Row
The San Antonio Spurs are going to be coming into this one playing incredible basketball their last two games. They were able to come away with two impressive wins in their last two games as they took down the Golden State Warriors and the Portland Trail Blazers.
In San Antonio’s win against the Golden State Warriors, Dejounte Murray did his usual thing by scoring 19 points, dishing out eight assists, and grabbing six rebounds.
On the season, San Antonio has the 18th rated net rating, the 17th rated offensive rating, and the 19th rated defensive rating.
Pelicans Haven’t Looked Great Recently
The New Orleans Pelicans are going to be coming into this one playing below-average basketball as of late. They’ve only managed to win four of their last 10 games, and if they’re going to want to make the playoffs, they’re really going to have to focus up and get the job done throughout the next few weeks.
New Orleans is going to be coming into this one after a very impressive 126-109 win against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Devonte’ Graham led the way in this one with 30 points.
On the season, New Orleans has the 19th rated net rating, the 19th rated offensive rating, and the 17th rated defensive rating.

For this game, I’m actually going to go with the San Antonio Spurs to win outright. When factoring in that Brandon Ingram is going to be questionable in this one, I’m going to wait for his official status, then be all over the Spurs.
I do even think that taking the Spurs now could be a good idea considering that there’s better value since he is only questionable.
