The Brooklyn Nets welcome the New Orleans Pelicans to Barclays Center Wednesday. Tip is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET.'Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Pelicans vs. Nets odds, and our expert NBA picks and predictions.
With G Ben Simmons set to play for Brooklyn along with G Kyrie Irving and F Kevin Durant, expectations are high within the Nets organization. The Nets were bounced by the Celtics last postseason in a 4-game sweep. The chemistry clearly wasn’t there, and that’s what they’ll try to build starting Wednesday.
The Pelicans welcome back F Zion Williamson, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2019 NBA Draft. Williamson averaged 27 points per game in 61 games in 2021. F Brandon Ingram and G CJ McCollum also highlight the Pelicans roster, one with playoff expectations this season.
