The New Orleans Pelicans and San Antonio Spurs meet for the third of four scheduled meetings this season. New Orleans won both prior matches and will host the final meeting on April 5th.
Both clubs last played on Wednesday with the Pelicans beating the Rockets 110-99 while the Spurs battled but inevitably lost 98-108 to the Magic.
Season Series
The Spurs hold the all-time record having bested the Pelicans in 53 of their 79 meetings. Last season the squads played four times with New Orleans sweeping all four contests and currently hold a six-game win streak versus the Spurs.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Thursday, February 1st. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, February 2nd.
New Orleans Pelicans
I’d say fire up your NBA League Pass to catch Zion Williamson against Victor Wembanyama but as of this posting, Zion is questionable with a foot injury.
It begs the question if the Pels front office will ever consider moving off the youngster who just can’t seem get through a season healthy (or stay in shape for that matter).
Pelicans Stats
The Pelicans rank 13th on offense (116.9), and 10th defensively (113.0) while posting a plus +3.9. net differential which ranks ninth overall.
New Orleans rides just above the middle with a 27-20-1 record against the spread through 48 contests.
Pelicans Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Herbert Jones, SF (questionable— groin)
- Zion Williamson, PF (questionable —foot)
- Larry Nance Jr., PF (questionable — ankle)
San Antonio Spurs
It was a long shot that Victor Wembanyama would make the All-Star team as a rookie but he did win Rookie of the Month and will be in Indiana for the Rookie-Sophomore game and appear on All-Star Saturday night.
As the tweet of the day notes 11 clubs control the majority of the tradable first-round picks so keep an eye on the Spurs who may be active at the deadline.
The question is whether they’ll be looking to be involved in deals as a third party or whether they’ll hunt young assets to pair with Wemby.
Spurs Stats
After getting out to a decent start the Spurs have slid in all key categories ranking 28th on offense (109.4), and 24th on defense (117.9) while possessing a minus -8.5 in net differential which ranks 28th.
The Spurs perform better against the spread than their win/loss results with a 23-25 record through 48 matches this season.
Spurs Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Charles Bassey, C (OUT for season —ACL)
- Zach Collins, PF (questionable — ankle)
- Keldon Johnson, SF (questionable — elbow)

Free New Orleans Pelicans vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Prediction:
Both teams will hit the trade deadline with ample picks to use as leverage but these two squads are on different sides of the spectrum. While the Pelicans are one of the deepest rosters they can’t seem to find a level of consistency despite having solid ratings in the three key categories.
It might be time for a shake-up on that roster but it’s unlikely Zion is going anywhere including to the Frost Bank Center hardwood on Friday. Still, they have the deeper roster with more talent so I’ll take them to win and cover.
