Warriors vs. Pelicans predictions: odds, expert picks, projected starting lineups, betting trends and stats

The Golden State Warriors will be without Steph Curry when they welcome the New Orleans Pelicans to town for a nationally televised game.

Golden State is 2-1 this year with blowout wins over Utah (127-86) and Portland (140-104) but a loss to the Clippers (112-104) in its previous game. With Curry out and Andrew Wiggins making a game-winning decision, Golden State are underdogs at home, which is not common.

New Orleans is 2-1 after three games, losing to Portland in its last game (125-103). The Pelicans had a day off before the short road trip to Golden State. The Pelicans had three different players lead the team in points, rebounds and assists through three games.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) wants Draymond Green to stay below his 20.5 points + rebounds + assists against New Orleans:

“Steph Curry is out and Andrew Wiggins is a game-time decision against New Orleans, so a lot of Golden State players will have higher stakes.

Draymond Green is averaging 4.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists (11.6 PRA) in three games, so I'm not sure if the correction to 19.5 and 20.5 PRA without these two players are correct.

Green is 1 of 6 from the field with two free throw attempts in the last two games. Green has recorded more than six individual points, rebounds or assists in a game so far this year. I don't expect it to start here.
