Golden State Warriors vs New Orleans Pelicans Pick – 3/28/2025


On March 28, 2025, the Golden State Warriors will take on the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Scheduled for a 8:00 PM ET tip-off, this Friday night matchup features two teams heading in different directions this season.

The Warriors enter the game with a 41-31 record, positioned as significant favorites with a -13.0 spread and a moneyline of -750, reflecting an implied win probability of 85%. Despite suffering a loss to the Miami Heat just three days prior, the Warriors have performed well overall, winning 25 of their last 40 games. The extra day of rest could provide a strategic advantage, allowing players to recuperate before facing the Pelicans.

Conversely, the Pelicans find themselves struggling at 20-53, sporting a moneyline of +560 and just a 15% chance of winning according to the odds. While the Pelicans did secure a victory against the Philadelphia 76ers in their last outing, it has been a tough season, as they have lost 35 of their last 50 games.

Travel fatigue could play a role in the Warriors' performance, as they make a cross-country trip for this contest. However, their overall better performance this season makes them a clear favorite, even on the road.

Both teams have had a few days off, which can often help players mentally and physically, but the Warriors’ recent form and the sheer difference in their records suggest strong confidence in their ability to cover the spread. Bettors will be watching closely to see if Golden State can shake off their last defeat and capitalize on their chances against New Orleans.
