It’s a full slate of NBA games on Saturday, and one of those is a Western Conference showdown between two teams who hope to be in the playoffs this year.
The New Orleans Pelicans continue their road trip when they take on the Portland Trail Blazers.The Trail Blazers won the previous match up 103-93.
New Orleans Pelicans
This seems like a make or break year for the New Orleans Pelicans franchise, and right now it’s still hard to figure out what kind of team they have.
They come into this game with an 11-10 mark, but they play the Utah Jazz on Friday night, so by the time this game tips off they could be sitting at .500 if they lose Friday night against the Jazz.
They come into this game having lost two straight against the Warriors, and the Timberwolves. Against the Timberwolves Anthony Davis was ejected, and that played into the loss.
For the Pelicans this year they have been good on the offensive end, and struggled on the defensive end. They come into this game averaging 109 points, which is good, but they are also giving up 108 points.
For the Trail Blazers they like to play a low scoring type of game, so the Pelicans will have to decide if they want to slow it down, or if they should try and push the tempo and speed up the game.
Portland Trail Blazers
On the other side of this match up is the Portland Trail Blazers who have had an up and down season but had won three straight before losing their last game against the Bucks.
For the Trail Blazers their strength is on the defensive side of the ball. They come into this game giving up only 99 points per game.
It is a good thing they have a good defense, because at times for this team the offense can go really cold and it has hurt them.
In the last game against Milwaukee they only were able to put up 91 points. In this game the defense is going to need to find a way to lock down the high scoring Pelicans offense.
The offense is also going to need to get going though, because I think both teams will be over 100 in this one.
