Free New Orleans Pelicans vs. Washington Wizards NBA Prediction:
These are certainly the types of games both teams need to win in the 2nd half. They’ll have to beat up on the weaker competition and then steal games they’re not supposed to if they hope to make a push here.
Give the edge to New Orleans here as the visitors have played much more consistently, while the Wizards look like they’ve hit a wall with their schedule.
Davis probably won’t have another epic night like Sunday, but he will be able to control the paint in a game where New Orleans comes out on top.
