Since winning their first two games on the road to open the season, the New Orleans Pelicans have struggled to notch W’s away from the Smoothie King Center, going 5-9 while posting a -1.5 net rating.
That'll be the task for this Monday night though, when the Pelicans battle the 76ers on their home floor in Philadelphia.
It’s not unusual to see vastly different home and away splits, even for the better teams in the league. Only four squads have winning away records overall (Nets, Celtics, Knicks, Nuggets) and no one has been dominant.
