The New Orleans Pelicans will tip off against the Chicago Bulls at the top of the hour, looking for their first three-game win streak of the season.
Here’s a more fun fact: The last time the Pelicans were three games above .500 was all the way back during the early portion of the 2018-19 campaign, when that ill-fated squad (incoming Anthony Davis trade request!) began 10-7 out of the gates.
Forget baby steps, this franchise is due!
One player who could help make a 9-6 record reality is Jonas Valanciunas. The starting center has posted three subpar games in a row, but to be perfectly fair, he wasn’t given much of an opportunity.
