Golden State Warriors vs New Orleans Pelicans: Injury Reports, Starting 5s, Betting Odds, Tips & Spreads - April 10th, 2022 | NBA Season 2021-22

The Golden State Warriors visit the Smoothie King Center in Lousiana to face the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. The two teams are meeting for the third time this season after splitting the first two games.

The Warriors are third in the West right now with the 4th-seeded Dallas Mavericks just one game behind. If they lose this game and the Mavericks win their clash against the Spurs, they will slip to the fourth seed. Although this is the last game of the regular season, this game has seeding implications so the Dubs will likely not rest their starters.

The Pelicans are fixed on the ninth spot in the West with a one-game cushion on both ends of the table. Hence, this match's result will not change their position on the Western Conference standings. However, they will likely not rest their starters because they are gearing up for the NBA play-in tournament.
