BKN Nets vs NO Pelicans Prediction: Will Jacque Vaughn's team fail to improve?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on March 20. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Nets were unable to take advantage of an injury to the leader of their main rival in the race for Atlanta's play-in. Even without Trae Young, the Hawks have increased their handicap against the New Yorkers, and now Brooklyn, which sits 11th in the Eastern Conference, is 4.5 wins behind the top-10.

Jacque Vaughn's team, once again, is coming to the match with New Orleans with a streak of three consecutive losses. The Nets lost to Orlando (106:114), Indiana (100:121) and San Antonio (115:122 (110:110) in overtime).

The Pelicans, on the contrary, have gained a good momentum and strengthened in the top-6 of the West. The team is now fifth in the conference with a 2.5 win margin over the seventh place team.

Before travelling to New York, New Orleans won two home victories in a row - over the Los Angeles Clippers (112:104) and Portland (126:107). The Pelicans have only two losses in their previous nine games.

Brooklyn can not be called a serious opponent for any team from the playoff zone, including New Orleans. The Pelicans will probably have no problem confirming their favourite status in the upcoming game, further improving their tournament position. Let's bet on the visitors.
