A look at three key numbers related to Saturday’s game at the United Center between New Orleans and Chicago (7 p.m., Fox Sports New Orleans, WRNO 99.5 FM):
925: Miles between the cities of Dallas and Chicago, a distance the Pelicans (4-5) traveled by air late Friday for their first back-to-back of the regular season. The Bulls (2-5) are still not at much of an advantage tonight despite homecourt advantage, because they also will be playing their initial back-to-back of 2017-18. Chicago won easily at Orlando, 105-83, on Friday, then got on a plane and journeyed the 1,100 miles from Central Florida to the Windy City.
