3 Bold Predictions for Pelicans vs Trail Blazers (It’s Dame Time)

The Pelicans travel to Portland tonight looking for their first win since mid February.

Playing without Zion Williamson hasn’t been easy on New Orleans, which is 13-20 without their star player this season.

They’ll be matching up with a Portland team that is also pretty reliant on its own superstar, Damian Lillard, who scored 71 (!!) points in Sunday’s win over Houston.

3 Bold Predictions for Pelicans vs. Trail Blazers

Each game is important for both of these teams as they fight for a spot in the play-in tournament in a wild Western Conference.

These teams have only matched up once, resulting in a 106-95 win for Portland in early November, but they’ll face each other THREE times this month.

Here are three bold predictions for tonight’s Western Conference showdown:

Brandon Ingram to score 35+ points (+500)

Without Zion Williamson on the court, the Pelicans need a scorer they can turn to and Ingram isn’t a bad option. After returning from injury in later January, Ingram averaged 28.3 points per game this past month as the top offensive option for New Orleans.

Scoring 35+ points means that Ingram will have to have one of his better nights of the season, but it’s not out of reach. Ingram scored 35+ points twice in February and nearly got to that mark two other times with a 30-point performance and a 34-point night, too.

If New Orleans is going to keep up with the high-volume shooting of Portland, Ingram will have to score a ton of points.

Damian Lillard to score 40+ points (+185)

Lillard has been shooting at an INSANE…
