Washington Wizards vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction: Can the Pelicans beat the Wizards this time?

New Orleans hasn't won in Washington in years. Can the Pelicans beat the Wizards this time?

Washington Wizards

The Wizards have improved markedly of late, winning eight of their last 12 games and moving closer to the Eastern Conference playoff spot. Washington is currently in 12th place in the East with a 17-23 balance, just two wins behind the top 10. On the eve of their meeting with the Pelicans, the team lost twice in a row, both on the road to Milwaukee (113:123) and Oklahoma City (110:127).

New Orleans Pelicans

Without Zion Williamson, who was injured, the Pelicans started losing. The squad had four losses in their last five games - to Memphis (101:116), Philadelphia (111:120), Brooklyn (102:108), and Dallas (117:127). New Orleans lost to all its tough opponents in that stretch, beating only Houston (119:108). The Pelicans are still high in the Western Conference standings, sitting in third place with a 24-16 balance. But, by all appearances, they'll continue to fall.
