Preview, predictions, TV and injury report for tonight's New Orleans Pelicans v Boston Celtics game
NBASaturday, 30 March 2024 at 15:00
On a very short NBA Saturday, with three games in total, the New Orleans Pelicans and Boston Celtics will face each other in the first of them. As expected, Jayson Tatum and Zion Williamson will be the stars of the game.
The Celtics will play as visitors with the calm of having the 1st position in the Eastern Conference mathematically assured with a 57-16 record. However, the Massachusetts franchise comes from losing its last two games, both against Atlanta Hawks by a very close result. So recovering sensations with a win is essential for a team that aspires to win the ring this year.
The Pelicans, meanwhile, remain in contention for 4th place in the Western Conference, which is currently held by the Los Angeles Clippers with a 46-27 record. The Louisiana franchise is coming off a 107-100 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, and with a record of 45-28, the Pelicans will be looking for a win to stay in the hunt for the Los Angeles Clippers.
Expert predictions (Possible lineups and result).
The main predictions for tonight's game have the Boston Celtics slightly ahead to take the win. However, the New Orleans Pelicans will be at home and are coming off a win over the Milwaukee Bucks, so morale is high right now in Louisiana.
In addition, the potential lineups will be as follows:
- Pelicans: CJ McCollum, Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy III, Zion Williamson, Jonas Valanciunas.
- Celtics: Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis.
