The New Orleans Pelicans officially usher in Round 2 of the 2018 NBA Playoffs tonight when they play the Golden State Warriors in Oakland.

- Series Prediction. I’m just going to say Warriors in 6. They have the firepower, discipline, experience, and depth. The Pelicans can win a couple, and I expect them to do so, and I don’t expect this to be easy for the Warriors.
