Warriors vs New Orleans Prediction 10 November 2026
π Golden State Warriors will play New Orleans Pelicans in an NBA regular-season game. Both teams are capable of consistently strong offensive play. At home, Steve Kerrβs team should deliver a steady performance. Stephen Curry and his teammates are in good form, which should translate into a solid points tally.
Head-to-Head
π The teams last met in February, when the New Orleans Pelicans won 113-109. However, the Golden State Warriors have the better record over their last five head-to-head games (4-1).
Head-to-head statistics Warriors - New Orleans

Golden State Warriors: the home side are very strong in attack
The hosts have won seven games in a row and are in excellent form. Their wins include victories over tough opponents: Minnesota (119:114), the Lakers (112:95) and Miami (120:100). There is little doubt that, at home, the team will again move the ball well. Golden State are among the seasonβs leaders in assists (27.8 per game). Even the absences of players such as Porzingis, Moody, Butler and Richard have not affected their success on offence.
Above all, Golden State deserve praise for their excellent three-point shooting: 38.9%. That is currently the best mark in the league. In their recent game against Orlando (126:119), they made almost 47% of their shots from beyond the arc. Stephen Curry led the way with 41 points. The Pelicans are unlikely to find a way to completely contain the Warriorsβ biggest star.

New Orleans Pelicans: major defensive problems
The visitors are gradually finding form, with four wins in their last six games. However, their two most recent games ended in defeats to the Clippers (123-139) and Minnesota (109-115). Regardless of the pace of either game, their defence looked exceptionally poor. New Orleans concede around 119 points per game on average, and the situation could be even more concerning on the road.
Offence is perhaps the visitorsβ only notable strength. Playing at a high pace, they manage to score 120.2 points per game. Much of that comes from physical play around the basket. Williamson and his teammates drive aggressively to the rim, leading not only to a good shooting percentage but also to plenty of free-throw attempts (31.3, almost the most in the league). They will use the same approach here, but they will not be able to hide their poor defence.
