Golden State Warriors vs New Orleans Pelicans Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Chart for Nov. 22 | 2024 Emirates NBA Cup

The Golden State Warriors (11-3) will look to make light work of an injury-ravaged New Orleans Pelicans (4-12) team in the Emirates NBA Cup at Smoothie King Center on Friday. The Warriors have beaten the Pelicans twice on the road this season, and with New Orleans dealing with several key injuries, morale might be low for coach Willie Green, who is rumored to lose his seat if this trend continues.

The Warriors' last outing saw them cruise to a 120-97 win against the Atlanta Hawks, with Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins combining for 50 points. Golden State doesn't look like slowing down any time soon and could be serious contenders this season.

Meanwhile, the Pelicans have an uphill battle ahead of them. With an injury-marred campaign, three to five players are on the treatment table. New Orleans only has one win in its last ten games.
