1) Week 4 of the NBA schedule for New Orleans consists of three opponents with winning records – and currently identical marks – beginning with Monday’s home game vs. Houston (6-3) at 7 p.m. The Rockets matchup is followed by a Thursday home contest vs. the Clippers (6-3) and a Saturday tilt in Miami (6-3). According to ESPN.com, the Pelicans have played the 13th-most difficult schedule through Nov. 10, but that will certainly move up the ladder a bit over the next seven days.
2) Tickets are available here for Monday’s game in the Smoothie King Center.
