New Orleans Pelicans vs. Denver Nuggets: New Orleans Pelicans
Probably the most controversial pick on the list, the Grizzlies vs. the Pelicans is primed to be one of the most interesting matchups in a few years, thanks to their respective successes in recent drafts and trades. However, this time, they want the Pelicans to win. Why? The aforementioned draft.
New Orleans has already proved themselves to be one of the better teams when it comes to the draft. Although the Warriors have the worst record in the NBA, the Pelicans have the second worse, with only one more win than Golden State.
It looks like New Orleans and Memphis are after the same thing in the 2020 offseason, and Memphis wants to do everything in their power to make sure that they get the higher draft pick. When it comes to games, that means that they’ll play at a different level; and when it comes to sitting at home, it means hoping for New Orleans to pull one out over a more talented opponent.
