The New Orleans Pelicans are one of the teams playing as well as the Houston Rockets right now.
Winners of four of their last five and featuring two All-Star starters, the Pels are playing with confidence and are solidly in the sixth spot in the Western Conference.
Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins get most of the headlines for New Orleans, and for good reason. Davis is an athletic dynamo that can do just about anything on the court. For as much attention as Giannis Antetokounmpo gets for his athleticism, AD is a more polished version with more strength.
