As these two teams clash on February 3, the outcome of the game will depend on the performance of their star players.

In conclusion, the upcoming game between the New Orleans Pelicans and San Antonio Spurs is set to be an intense battle. Zion Williamson's exceptional performance in the previous three games makes him a key player to watch. With his scoring prowess and all-around skills, he has the potential to lead his team to victory. However, Mamukelashvili and the Spurs will not go down without a fight.
