On Monday night, the New Orleans Pelicans will start a 2-game home stand against the Boston Celtics. Boston has won 4 of their last 6 games, but lost Saturday to the San Antonio Spurs by a slim 108-105 margin. Conversely, the Pelicans snapped their 4-game losing streak against the Cleveland Cavaliers Friday with an impressive 114-108 overtime victory.
Although the Celtics are 11-9 and currently tied for 9th in the Eastern Conference, they have the sixth best Net Rating in the league. This is not a team to be taken lightly.
