On Saturday night, the New Orleans Pelicans face off against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs in what promises to be a thrilling NBA contest.
The Spurs have been one of the league’s standout teams this season, holding a 6-2 record. They recently rebounded from a narrow 118-116 defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers by defeating the Houston Rockets 121-110.
The New Orleans Pelicans have experienced a rough start, standing at 2-6. Head coach Willie Green is reportedly under pressure as the team searches for consistency. Adding to their concerns, former No. 1 pick Zion Williamson is sidelined once again, this time with a hamstring strain.
Despite the setbacks, the Pelicans recently secured a much-needed 101-99 win against the Dallas Mavericks.
