Portland Trail Blazers vs. New Orleans Pelicans Preview, Prediction, and Odds| April 9, 2024

New Orleans Pelicans

The Portland Trail Blazers (21-57) take on the New Orleans Pelicans (46-32) in what should be a one-sided affair.

Portland is coming off a large defeat to the Boston Celtics. However, Delano Banton continues to impress, as he had 28 points off the bench as well as nine assists. Furthermore, Deandre Ayton had 22 points and 14 rebounds. Finally, Jabari Walker had 14 points and 18 rebounds for the Blazers.

Conversely, the Pelicans had an eight-point victory over the Suns. CJ McCollum had a team-high 31 points. Additionally, Zion Williamson had 29 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists. Finally, Trey Murphy III had 13 points and four rebounds.

Is Portland able to keep this one close tonight against New Orleans?

Game Prediction

This is a game that I see New Orleans winning by a large margin. If Portland was at full strength, then you may consider picking them to at least cover the spread; however, these are teams on two completely different trajectories at this point. Even on the road, I like the New Orleans Pelicans to win and cover the spread.

Final Pick

New Orleans Pelicans -12 (-108)
