NOP vs ORL Dream11 Match Prediction
NOP vs ORL Dream11: Golden State Warriors may be lying at the foot of the table in the Western Conference, but on current form, New Orleans Pelicans are the worst team in the entire NBA. They have lost the last 11 games coming into their home tilt against Orlando Magic and will be the clear underdogs when the tip-off begins at Smoothie King Center.
Form and recent results:
As mentioned above, the Pelicans have lost the last 11 games. They are 4-9 in home matches and 2-11 on the road. But as they say, there is always a cause for optimism no matter how dark things seem, and for the Pelicans, it’s their record against the teams from the same conference, as five of their six wins have come against Western Conference rivals.
Orlando Magic, meanwhile, know this game offers a good opportunity to snap their own three-game skid. That said, they have made a good start to the season, better than expectations, as they sit 8th in the Eastern Conference with an 11-14 record heading into this game.
