After getting Brandon Ingram and Derrick Favors back in the nick of time to put Utah’s 10-game win streak to bed, the New Orleans Pelicans hope the return of another key player helps tip the scales in their favor against another strong contender in the Western Conference.
New Orleans will face the L.A. Clippers for the third time this season (1-1 record thus far), and although they’ll still be without Jrue Holiday — thankfully Paul George is out too, JJ Redick will return to action for the first time since New Orleans win against the Knicks in New York.
