Game Preview
The New Orleans Pelicans aim to bounce back and split their back-to-back series against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night in San Francisco—a matchup that offers intriguing betting opportunities.
In the first game of this two-day showdown, the Warriors overcame a 20-point deficit to defeat the Pelicans 124-106. Unexpectedly, Buddy Hield, Brandin Podziemski, and Moses Moody—all making their first starts of the season—combined for an impressive 64 points. Their standout performances could influence player prop bets for the rematch.
Back-to-back games against the same opponent are rare but not unfamiliar to the Pelicans. Last week, they split a similar series with the Portland Trail Blazers, winning the first game 105-103 before falling 125-103 in the second. This pattern suggests volatility that bettors might capitalize on.
Zion Williamson, who scored 31 points in the loss, is eager for redemption. "That’s the beauty of the NBA," Williamson said. "You always get another shot at it."
However, turnovers were costly for New Orleans. Williamson and Brandon Ingram combined for 10 of the team’s 24 turnovers, a factor that swung the game’s momentum. Despite shooting a higher percentage from the field (54.1% to Golden State’s 47.4%), the Pelicans allowed the Warriors to take 23 more shots—a critical stat for those considering over/under bets.
Golden State’s three-point shooting was lethal, outscoring New Orleans by 12 triples and shooting 45.7% from beyond the arc. With Stephen Curry sidelined due to an ankle injury, Hield stepped up with seven three-pointers, while Moody added five. Bettors should note that Curry is expected to miss the second game as well, potentially affecting the game’s point spread.
The Warriors’ depth was on full display, with their bench outscoring the Pelicans’ reserves 54-30. Lindy Waters III, previously a fringe rotation player, contributed 21 points, eight rebounds, and four assists in 31 minutes. Coach Steve Kerr praised Waters, saying, "From Day 1 of camp, this guy has been one of our best players."
Given the Pelicans’ motivation to even the series and the Warriors’ demonstrated depth, this rematch promises not only exciting basketball but also a variety of betting angles. Whether you’re eyeing the moneyline, point spread, or player props, make sure to consider the dynamics from the first game and any late-breaking news before placing your bets.
