Golden State WarriorsDrawNew Orleans Pelicans
Golden State Warriors host New Orleans Pelicans in an NBA regular season matchup on 2026-11-10. Both sides arrive from summer league competition, where they showed mixed results and will be shaking off competitive rust as the season proper begins.
Team form
Golden State Warriors
Golden State won 2 of their last 5 summer league outings, averaging 92.4 points per game while conceding 89.4. They beat Oklahoma City 104-79 and Dallas 101-90 but fell to Memphis 85-106 and Miami 85-95. The Warriors' scoring output was reasonably consistent, though their defence occasionally leaked points. For fantasy purposes, their offensive ceiling appears around 104 points, but they have shown vulnerability when opponents execute efficiently.
New Orleans Pelicans
New Orleans managed 2 wins from 5 summer league games, averaging 83.6 points for and 88.8 against. They defeated Phoenix 81-75 and Charlotte 95-91, but lost to Indiana 73-91, Cleveland 77-82, and Minnesota 92-105. The Pelicans' scoring average trails Golden State by nearly 9 points per game over this stretch. Their defensive numbers are marginally better than the Warriors', but their offensive inconsistency—particularly the 73-point outing against Indiana—raises questions about their ability to sustain production against a more organised opponent.
Head-to-head
No head-to-head record is available for these teams in recent history.
Key factors
Golden State's summer league form suggests a team with offensive depth and the capacity to score in volume. Their 104-point performance against Oklahoma City demonstrates they can put up points when their system clicks. New Orleans, by contrast, has struggled to find consistent offensive rhythm. The 9-point gap in average scoring between the two sides over their recent games is substantial and reflects a meaningful difference in offensive execution. Defensively, neither team has impressed decisively, but Golden State's ability to generate scoring opportunities appears more reliable. For fantasy players, Warriors players should be favoured in scoring props, while Pelicans contributors face a tougher environment to accumulate points.
Prediction
The Warriors are clear favourites based on their superior offensive output and more stable recent form. Golden State averaged 92.4 points per game compared to New Orleans' 83.6—a gap that reflects real differences in offensive capability rather than noise. The Pelicans' defensive record is marginally better, but not enough to offset their scoring deficit. Golden State's wins came against quality opposition, while New Orleans' victories came against lower-ranked summer league sides. The model expects Golden State to score around 92 points and New Orleans around 85, a spread that aligns with the observed form differential.
Back Golden State Warriors to win. The Warriors are strong favourites, though not prohibitive ones given the summer league context and the inherent unpredictability of early-season basketball. New Orleans will compete, but their offensive inconsistency and lower scoring average make them unlikely to overcome Golden State's more reliable output. For fantasy lineups, prioritise Warriors scorers and approach Pelicans players with caution.
