Even though the NBA season is only 13 days old we have already seen competitive and intense games. We have also seen the L.A. Lakers and San Antonio Spurs play without two of the greatest players of All-Time (Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan). Finally we have seen Russell Westbrook’s early dominance and the Cleveland Cavaliers continue their winning ways. But with two NBA teams still struggling to win their first game it’s hard to tell which one will be the last to get their important win.
New Orleans Pelicans
Anthony Davis is the best power forward in the NBA, but he has no good surrounding talent and his team is also struggling with injuries. Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans are currently injured. Without talent around Anthony Davis it is almost impossible for him to win a game. In the first game of the season Anthony Davis recorded 50 PTS, 15 REB, 5 AST, 5 STL, and 4 BLK but the Pelicans still lost 107-102 to the currently 2-3 Denver Nuggets.
Philadelphia 76ers
Last season Philadelphia had the worst record in the NBA at 10-72, and this offseason they added Ben Simmons, and Joel Embiid finally became healthy enough to contribute to his team’s success. But Ben Simmons is already injured, and is not expected to make his NBA debut until January 10th. Because the Philadelphia 76ers have a roster almost has talentless as last season they are most likely to continue winless.
New Orleans Pelicans are struggling to win, but they have more talent and upside than the Philadelphia 76ers. Anthony Davis will continue his dominance and with Buddy Hield being given more game time due to their many injuries, the New Orleans Pelicans could win a game very soon.
