Boston Celtics vs New Orlean Pelicans Prediction: Celtics See No Barriers

The leader of the Eastern Conference Boston will hold the next match at his home TD Garden against the third team of the West New Orleans. Will the Celtics break the resistance of such a difficult opponent?

Boston Celtics

In the previous match, Joe Mazzulla's team hosted Chicago at the home arena. Boston generally controlled the situation throughout the game, but in the end, it still allowed the opponent to get close to itself and got a nervous ending. Everything ended for the Celtics with a more than successful victory with a difference of 8 points – 107:99. Jayson Tatum scored 32 points, made 7 assists, and 8 rebounds; Grant Williams recorded 20 points for his performance. For Boston, this victory was the third in a row after successful away matches with Dallas (124:95) and San Antonio (121:116). And the Celtics are now 29-12 in total. The team continues to lead the Eastern Conference standings.

New Orlean Pelicans

The Pelicans will play their third away game in a row. The first ended with a defeat from Dallas (117:127), but in the second, New Orleans managed to beat Washington for the first time in several years (132:112). C.J. McCollum played a brilliant match against the Wizards, scoring 34 points; Jonas Valanciunas scored 27 points and 12 rebounds. Without the injured Zion Williamson, the Pelicans still, of course, became less powerful. However, they still hold high in the standings – in third place in the Western Conference with a balance of 25-16.

Expert Betting Tips

Although the Pelicans tore up Washington in the previous match, they are unlikely to be able to repeat their success in the game with Boston. The Celtics have started winning steadily again, and they almost always do it with a margin, confirming the status of perhaps the strongest NBA team at the moment. The attack of New Orleans without Zion Williamson has become much less variable, and Boston will surely be able to neutralize it effectively. And the attack of the Celtics this season rarely meets any barriers at all.
