This will be an elimination game, as the Warriors currently lead the series three games to one. In game 4, Golden State blew out the Pelicans, winning by a score of 118-92.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The talent of the Warriors appears to be too much for the Pelicans. New Orleans was able to surprise the Portland Trail Blazers in round 1, but have not had the <strong>same<\/strong> luck with the Warriors. Golden State is looking to advance to the Conference Finals for the 4th straight year.\u00a0<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">The Golden State Warriors are -12 over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pelicans-hope-to-keep-season-alive\"><strong>Pelicans Hope To Keep Season Alive<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>New Orleans<\/strong> must make adjustments for game 5, after getting blown out by the Warriors in game 4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebirdwrites.com\/2018\/5\/6\/17325836\/2018-nba-playoffs-pelicans-warriors-recap-final-score-kevin-durant-star-davis-holiday-steph-rondo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The <strong>Pelicans<\/strong> got just 14 bench points in game 4, and their lack of depth is hurting them in this series.<\/a> If the Pelicans are going to keep their season alive, someone will have to step up and provide scoring from the second unit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Anthony Davis<\/strong> continues to play well for the Pelicans, despite the outcome. With Davis leading the way, New Orleans looks to be a franchise on the rise, but lack the depth and experience to get the job done this season. Look for <strong>Davis<\/strong> to post another double double in game 5 in trying to keep his team in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"durant-responds-in-big-way\"><strong>Durant Responds in Big Way<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After a disappointing game 3, <strong>Kevin Durant<\/strong> bounced back in a big way in game 4. The former MVP poured in a game high 38 points, while also grabbing a team high 9 rebounds. With <strong>Durant<\/strong> leading the way, the Warriors are now just one win away from advancing to the Western Conference Finals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The only major concern for the <strong>Warriors<\/strong> is the play of Klay Thompson. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/fantasy\/basketball\/news\/warriors-klay-thompson-struggles-from-the-field-in-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Thompson<\/strong> continues to struggle from the <\/a>three point line and finished with just 13 points in the game 4 win. Stephen Curry has appeared to shake off his rust, and is back to making the most difficult shots, look easy. The <strong>Warriors<\/strong> need both of the \u201cSplash Brothers\u201d to make shots to lead them to a series win. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pelicans-compete-warriors-win\"><strong>Pelicans Compete, Warriors Win<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <strong>Warriors<\/strong> appear to be peaking at the right time. Golden State finally has their entire roster healthy, and a date in the Western Conference Finals appears to be imminent. Durant led the way in game 4, but look for Stephen Curry to have a huge game 5. The Warriors know how to win an elimination game, and they will do just that in game 5. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <strong>Pelicans<\/strong> were the surprise team in the first round, but just don\u2019t have enough talent to beat the Warriors. With Anthony Davis leading the way, the <strong>Pelicans<\/strong> will make game 5 a close and competitive game. The Warriors will ultimately win the game, but the final margin will be single digits<strong>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet the New Orleans Pelicans +12 over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet on the NBA PLAYOFFS at BETUS<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Golden State Warriors are looking to eliminate the New Orleans Pelicans in Game 5.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3035],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
