New Orleans Pelicans vs San Antonio Spurs Predictions 11/23/2022

The San Antonio Spurs were predicted to be one of, if not the worst, NBA teams, but they shocked many by going 5-2 through their first seven games. Would they really live up to expectations and be a contender?

It appears that they won’t. The Spurs returned to being the poor team that everyone first anticipated. They are currently 6-12 on the season and in rapid decline after losing 10 of their previous 11 games.

The Spurs, however, are only 4.5 games back of the Southwest Division-leading Pelicans. There is still plenty of time to change course, but do the Spurs possess the necessary resources?

They dropped 5 straight contests, including a road defeat to the Lakers on Sunday by a score of 123-92. The Spurs had a dismal 39% field goal and 20% three-point shooting percentage.

Devin Vassell led the Spurs in scoring with 17 points, followed by Keldon Johnson with 12 points and Jeremy Sochan with 12.

The Spurs’ 110.1 points per game average places them 20th in the league. They rank 30th in the NBA in terms of points allowed per game (120.3).

The San Antonio Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 matches.
The total went UNDER in 7 of San Antonio’s last 10 matches.
The San Antonio Spurs are 0-5 SU in their last 5 matches.

New Orleans Pelicans vs San Antonio Spurs. The NBA pick for this game is the New Orleans Pelicans. This Spurs team simply lacks the skill, which is why many think they won’t be in the running for Victor Wembanyama’s job come next June.

It doesn’t help that center Jakob Poetl, one of their top players, is doubtful for this game due to a knee ailment. San Antonio simply isn’t a good matchup because the Pelicans are one of the best 3-point shooting teams and they don’t defend the three-point line well.

Additionally, the Pelicans are top 5 in defensive efficiency while the Pelicans are among the best in steals and among the leaders in turnovers.

The Pelicans’ multifaceted approach will be met with no defense from the Spurs. Take New Orleans as an example. New Orleans will win to a predicted score of 120-112.
