*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Tuesday, February 4th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Wednesday, February 5th.
New Orleans Pelicans
Health (or lack thereof) has killed the Pelican’s season and things only got worse this past weekend when Dejounte Murray tore his Achilles tendon.
John Schuhmann offered a staggering fact: Murray didn’t play a single minute alongside both Brandon Ingram (who’s now missed the last 25 games) and Zion Williamson (who’s played in only 13). The Pelicans didn’t have all of their top six guys — Murray, CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, Ingram, Trey Murphy III and Williamson — once this season.

Pelicans Stats
The Pelicans rank 22nd offensively (109.5), and 28th defensively (117.8) while posting a minus -8.2 net differential which ranks 29th overall.
New Orleans is below average against the spread with a 20-29-1 record through 50 games this season.
Pelicans Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Daniel Theis, C (questionable — thumb)
- Brandon Ingram, SF (OUT— ankle)
- Dejounte Murray, SG (OUT for season — Achilles)
- Herb Jones, SF (OUT— shoulder)
Denver Nuggets
This is the second home game in a stretch where Denver will play seven of eight at Ball Arena. The Nuggets struggled on the recent road trip but now will get the benefit of the schedule with a slew of tanking teams on tap.
One area the Nuggets don’t need to fix is their scoring in the restricted area where they lead the league.
Nuggets Stats
Denver ranks fourth offensively (118.3) and 21st defensively (114.2) with a net differential of plus +4.1 which ranks seventh overall.
Despite their overall placement, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with a 24-25-1 record through 50 contests.
Nuggets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Aaron Gordon, PF (questionable — calf)
- Russell Westbrook, PG (OUT— hamstring)
- Peyton Watson, SF (OUT indefinitely — knee)

Free NBA Prediction:
While the Pelicans are limping into this match it’s notable theyve battled tough teams to a single basket before ultimately losing. Just recently they lost by one point to the Mavericks nan two points to the Celtics.
Denver has a bad habit of starting slow and if they allow the Pels to get a rhythm could fall prey to the trap game. Having said that I’m still picking the Nuggets to win but I’ll take the points as its a healthy 10.5 points.
