Free New Orleans Pelicans vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Prediction:
The Pelicans are shorthanded, and if you’re concerned about that, you’re not alone.
But boy, did they look good in their last outing against the Toronto Raptors.
The Pelicans and the Spurs aren’t just on opposite ends of the competitive spectrum, they’re headed in entirely different directions as far as both the standings and season-carrying momentum goes.
Even if the Pelicans don’t get CJ McCollum back on Friday, I like them in a convincing win.
If they do get CJ back…watch out.
