Portland Trail Blazers
The Portland Trail Blazers have been one of the nicest surprises in the NBA so far this season. They are in third place in the Western Conference, and have given themselves a genuine chance to make the playoffs thanks to their hot start. At 8-3 on the season so far, the Trail Blazers will aim to get another impressive win against the New Orleans Pelicans.
For the Trail Blazers, defense is going to be their ticket to winning this contest. They are currently fourth in the Western Conference in points allowed. But they face one of the most potent teams in the league in this game, and will need to be at the top of their game on the defensive end.
New Orleans Pelicans
The New Orleans Pelicans are currently in eighth place in the Western Conference, having won their most recent game against the Chicago Bulls. They are 6-5 on the season, and 2-1 in their three home games so far. Here, the Pelicans will hope to go to 3-1 at home and make a statement against a team currently ahead of them in the standings.
For New Orleans, pace of play will be key here. The Pelicans are going to look to play in transition and get to the basket quickly with Zion Williamson. Doing that will allow Portland not to set its stout defense, which will work out to the benefit of the Pelicans.
