The Pelicans will meet the Spurs for a second time in the last week and a half and very little has changed since their 129-110 victory in San Antonio just prior to Thanksgiving Day.
New Orleans remains on an upward trajectory since showing signs of fatigue after playing eight of the first 11 games on the road, winning seven of their last nine. The recent hot streak has propelled the Pelicans into sole position of third place in the Western Conference.
Meanwhile, San Antonio is still evading wins like it’s their job. The Spurs have lost nine straight and 14 of their last 15.
