Free New Orleans Pelicans vs. Golden State Warriors NBA Prediction:
How in the world do the Warriors score the second-most points in the NBA while only ranking No. 12 in points per 100 possessions?
Pace
Golden State runs the No. 1 pace in the NBA. As a result, they launch more three-points than any other team out there, which bodes well for them since they hit 38.6 percent of those attempts—the third highest-mark in the league.
On the other hand, New Orleans is the definition of middle-of-the-pack in pace at 15th. On top of that, they shoot the second-fewest three-pointers across the league and are bottom-10 in three-point percentage.
As long as New Orleans’ top-10 defense shows up, this will be a competitive game and the Pelicans will have a shot.
Obviously, that’s especially true with Stephen Curry still sidelined.
But when it comes down to it, the Warriors should be able to control the pace and play their style of basketball, even against a strong defense.
In reality, this could be one of the better games Friday night.
