Western Conference
1 Golden State Warriors vs. 8 New Orleans Pelicans
The red-hot Warriors set a franchise-record with 67 wins this season. Guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are coming off a week where Curry made 77 straight three-pointers in an open gym, while Thompson scored 42 points against the Grizzlies earlier this week. It’s going to be tough to stop the backcourt in the Bay Area, but New Orleans has their own weapon in forward Anthony Davis. Davis and company will cause a lot of problems, but can the Pelicans outscore the Warriors at all?
