Preview
Golden State has won five of their last six matches to remain on top of the Western Conference table. The only loss they had so far in six games was a 110-89 shocker versus the Memphis Grizzlies last Saturday.
The Warriors have bounced back from that lackluster performance with a 116-108 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night at the Target Center to extend their NBA-record streak of 111 regular-season matches without back-to-back losses, as per SF Gate.
However, it was an unexpectedly close game against the Wolves with Kevin Durant struggling from the field. In the end, the former league MVP scored 22 points on 6-for-21 field goal shooting along with eight rebounds and five assists.
Reigning MVP Stephen Curry also had 22 points with four boards and nine assists. Klay Thompson led the squad with 30 points, six rebounds, and two assists.
Draymond Green had a productive game with 18 points, five rebounds, four assists, two steals, and a shot block.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans snapped their five-game losing slide with a 120-119 overtime win over the Phoenix Suns on the road at the Talking Resort Arena also on Sunday night, Fox Sports reported.
Starting point guard Jrue Holiday led New Orleans with 23 points, three rebounds, three assists, and two steals while Anthony Davis had a rare off-night with 14 points on 4-for-17 field goal shooting. Davis grabbed 12 rebounds, though, and also had four assists, one steal, and two blocked shots.
Off the bench, point guard Tim Frazier produced a triple-double of 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists with five steals and a block. Reggie Williams and Langston Galloway fired 17 and 12 points respectively also coming in as substitutes.
Prediction
The Warriors are almost unbeatable on the road with a 12-2 record while the Pelicans are struggling at home with a 5-8 slate. Golden State is highly favored to win this one in New Orleans and build another winning streak.
