On the year, New Orleans is 9-8 against the spread. San Antonio is 9-9 ATS despite their recent skid.
These two teams have not faced off yet during the 2022-23 regular season, but Wednesday, Nov. 23 marks the first of three times they’ll see one another before Christmas.
New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans routed the Warriors in their last outing but the even better news for New Orleans was the return of Zion Williams.
On paper, the Pels hardly needed his nine points against Golden State. But keeping him on the floor consistently has been a problem over his whole career, and with this being the first season New Orleans really has a true shot to compete, seeing him play as much as possible will remain a key factor deciding whether or not they contend.
On the year, New Orleans is scoring 116.9 points per contest, which puts the team in 4th as of this writing Saturday evening.
In terms of advanced stats, the Pelicans score 113.5 points per 100 possessions. That number also places them in 4th.
Defensively, this groups allows 110.6 points per night, putting them in 11th so far this season.
Looking at Defensive Efficiency, New Orleans gives up 107 points per 100 possessions—a number that ranks 26th on the year.
On the injury report, New Orleans lists Trey Murphy III as Day-to-Day.
San Antonio Spurs
On the year, the Spurs are scoring 110.1 points per game. That number puts them in 20th across the NBA so far this season.
Looking at the advanced stats, they’re scoring 105.4 points per 100 possessions—a number that puts them in 28th.

Free New Orleans Pelicans vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Prediction:
The Pelicans are on a roll, and I wouldn’t expect their first road contest after a largely successful six-game home stand to slow said roll.
With New Orleans and San Antonio headed in opposite directions, a 6.5-point spread might look conservative when the final buzzer sounds.
Give this one to the Pelicans in a big way.
