Smart Game Analysis
San Antonio Spurs has a 82% chance of winning the game
The Spurs are heavy favorites at home with Devin Vassell returning to a healthy lineup that has already beaten the Pelicans three times this season.
Key Analysis
- • Devin Vassell returns to action today after missing 13 games, adding elite scoring depth to the Spurs' rotation.
- • San Antonio has dominated this specific matchup, winning all three previous games against New Orleans this season.
- • The Pelicans allow 122.1 points per game, which is significantly worse than San Antonio's defensive average of 112.6.
- • Victor Wembanyama's elite rim protection poses a severe matchup problem for Zion Williamson's paint-centric offense.
- • New Orleans has struggled mightily away from home, losing 13 of their last 16 road games.
- • The Pelicans need another statistical outlier performance like Saddiq Bey's recent 36-point game to keep this close.
