New Orleans Pelicans vs Indiana Pacers Betting Preview

Pelicans Power Trio: Zion, Ingram, and McCollum Lead the Charge!

The New Orleans Pelicans roster is led by Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, and CJ McCollum. Those three guys are what gets the offense going. Williamson leads the team with 22.4 points per game. Ingram is at 21.4 and McCollum is at 18.8. The sharp-shooting McCollum missed the game on Tuesday, after leaving with an injury to his ankle back on February 23rd.

In the win over the Knicks on Tuesday, the Pelicans held the Knicks to just 19 first-quarter points. Troy Murphy led the way with 26 points, while Brandon Ingram added 24 and Zion Williamson added 21 in the win. The Pelicans caught a break with the Knicks playing back-to-back and Jalen Brunson not playing. With this game being the Pelicans second of a back-to-back, you wonder who will play for them.

The Pelicans will remain on the road for a game at the Pacers on Wednesday. After a home game on March 1st against the Pacers, the Pelicans will head back out on the road. This time it will be for three in a row. At the Raptors, at Philadelphia, and at Atlanta.

Haliburton Heat: Pacers’ Guard Lights Up the Court

Tyrese Haliburton is putting together a terrific season for the Indiana Pacers. The guard is scoring more than 21 points per game, and dishing out 11.6 assists per game. The Pacers offense is one of the best in the league. In fact, Indiana leads all of the league in scoring with 123.9 points per game. The Pacers are making nearly 51% from the field.

Indiana had a three-game winning streak going; as they won at the Raptors, with the Pistons, and with the Mavericks. Their loss came when they allowed 130 points at home to Toronto. The Indiana Pacers injury report shows that guard Aaron Nesmith is a game-time decision. He currently has an ankle injury. He did not play in the loss on Monday.

The Indiana Pacers will start their March slate on Friday in New Orleans. That is the first of three straight-road NBA matchups. Indiana is at the Spurs on Sunday and will go to Dallas, before heading back home to host Minnesota on March 7th.
