The Golden State Warriors will welcome the New Orleans Pelicans for an NBA regular season clash on Saturday, November 29. This will be the second time that both teams will be up against each other this season. In their previous meeting, the Dubs handed a blowout loss to the Pelicans, and in the upcoming game, the visitors would avenge the defeat. The Dubs, on the other hand, would aim to continue their dominance and extend their winning streak to 2-0.

Zion Williamson has been leading the Pelicans with his offensive efforts in the ongoing NBA 2025-26 season. He is averaging 21.8 points, with 5.4 rebounds, and 1.8 steals through nine games, while shooting 51.2% from the field. However, he hasn’t been able to hit even once from the three-point range in the last nine games, making his three-point shooting 0.00%. In the last game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Williamson came up with 17 points with 46.7% shooting from the field. In fact, in the last five games, there were a total of three occasions where he dropped 20 points or more.
However, considering the forthcoming game, the Dubs have the eighth best defensive rating in the league at 112.2, as well as homecourt advantage. These factors make it challenging for Williamson to put another 20+ point show on Saturday. Hence, Zion Williamson scoring under 21.5 points looks like a safe bet.

Golden State Warriors vs New Orleans Pelicans Predictions
As stated, this will be the second time that the Warriors and the Pelicans will lock horns in the ongoing season. In their previous meeting, the Warriors recorded a comfortable win over the Pelicans powered by Moses Moody’s 32 points. Though the Dubs are currently seeded eighth in the West with a 10-10 record, they have been struggling with inconsistency since the beginning of the campaign.
They have not been able to find continuity and even as they head into Saturday’s game, the Warriors are certainly not in good form. They have been able to win only one in their last five games, that too against the Utah Jazz, which is definitely not something to brag about. Adding to their crisis is their current injury woes of superstar Stephen Curry.
Curry, regarded as the greatest shooter, will miss a week of action due to right quadriceps contusion. During his absence, Jimmy Butler will be expected to shoulder scoring responsibility for the side, but Jonathan Kuminga is also likely to make a comeback, which could make things easy for them.
On the other hand, we have yet another season but nothing good to talk about the New Orleans Pelicans. They have had a poor beginning to the season, and it can be said that better days are still out of sight for them. Before their previous game, they ended a nine-game losing skid and defeated the Chicago Bulls. However, they are definitely not back on track since they suffered a 133-128 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies in the very next match.
The Pelicans are struggling on both ends of the floor given that they have the fifth worst offensive and defensive rating of 109.3 and 119.8, respectively.
Moreover, considering that the Warriors are a far stronger team than them despite their own struggles as well as having homecourt advantage, it can be said that the hosts are poised to win the upcoming game.
Predictions: Golden State Warriors to win.
