New Orleans Pelicans vs Toronto Raptors Prediction: Will the Pelicans return to the playoffs?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 6. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Pelicans finished the away series, which began for the team with defeats from the Eastern Conference contenders - Milwaukee (117:141) and Boston (112:118), and continued with victories over the mid-tier Westerners. First, New Orleans beat Houston (110:99) and then San Antonio (114:113).

In general, the Pelicans can't be called fully content in the Western Conference, but the team can make the playoffs even directly. At the moment, New Orleans is only 0.5 wins behind the top-6.

If the Pelicans are solving tournament problems, the Raptors have fallen out of the race for even the Eastern Conference play-in. The team is 5.0 wins behind the top-10 team.

In the previous game, Toronto suffered its seventh loss in the last eight games, losing to Oklahoma. However, the Canadian team can take this game as an asset, as one of the West's leaders beat the Raptors only after two overtime periods - 127:135 (110:110).

Having traded Siakam and Anunoby, Toronto not only fell out of the race for the playoffs but also became one of the weakest teams in the NBA. It is highly doubtful that New Orleans will have any problems in the upcoming game. Given the Raptors ' defensive weaknesses, we're betting on a convincing Pelicans win and a high-scoring performance.
