The New Orleans Pelicans just finished a road trip.
The Boston Celtics are about to finish a road trip.
Neither team is particularly happy with where it is right now as they prepare to meet Monday night in the Smoothie King Center.
Both teams had success in the playoffs last season and have high hopes for this year. But they are each 10-10.
The Pelicans just got swept on a three-game East Coast trip, losing at Philadelphia on Wednesday, at New York on Friday and at Washington on Saturday.
Boston's road trip started off on a good note as the Celtics won at Atlanta 114-96 on Friday.
