Philadelphia 76ers vs New Orleans Pelicans

The New Orleans Pelicans experienced an extremely unsuccessful season which exceeded their lowest performance predictions. The Pelicans hide at 14th position in the Western Conference with their 19-53 record. During their previous six matchups the New Orleans Pelicans secured only one win through their road triumph against the Minnesota Timberwolves yet they returned to their original form by losing twice on the road to both the Timberwolves and the Detroit Pistons.

Before this season began many analysts projected that New Orleans Pelicans would strive for playoff participation which demonstrates their failure has been notable. The team continues to suffer from a string of injuries affecting their main players. As the Pelicans leading point-getter Zion Williamson has only participated in 30 games where he averaged 24.6 points per game.

Progressively Trey Murphy has demonstrated remarkable development because he now averages 21.2 points per contest. Defense stands as the leading problem for New Orleans since they possess the league's worst defensive unit that concedes 120.2 points per 100 possessions on average.

The Philadelphia 76ers have suffered a horrendous season that nobody foresaw them leaving the play-in competition. New Orleans occupies spot number 13 in the Eastern Conference standings with their 23-48 record that indicates they will definitely not reach the playoffs. The Philadelphia 76ers fight their way through a four-game losing run after giving up their latest game to Atlanta Hawks by 132-119 on the road.

 Philadelphia made a major impact before the season began by signing Paul George, indicating their desire to win a title. They won't win a championship, though, and their season has been a total bust, with Joel Embiid and George playing the worst. Tyrese Maxey, who has averaged 26.3 points per game while playing in 52 games, has been the only bright light. The 76ers' offense, which is ranked 10th in the league with 112.6 points per 100 possessions, isn't much better than their defense, which is ranked fourth with 118.3 points per 100 possessions.
