Will Stephen Curry and Zion Williamson Play Tonight? Golden State Warriors vs New Orleans Pelicans – Predictions, Injury Updates, and Lineups

The Golden State Warriors take on the New Orleans Pelicans in their second game on consecutive nights. The Warriors came away with the victory last night. Stephen Curry was incredible, continuing his hot scoring streak by dropping 41 on them. As the Warriors look to increase the gap over Pelicans in the play-in spot, they will be looking to get another important win over them.

Whereas, the New Orleans Pelicans have been inconsistent this year. Both Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram have been the only two consistent performers for the Pelicans. Whereas, Lonzo Ball has shown clear improvement this season, playing some of his best basketball. But the Pelicans are yet to establish themselves as one of the top teams in the NBA, despite their wealth of talent.

With that in mind, let us take a look at the Golden State Warriors facing the New Orleans Pelicans.
