The New Orleans Pelicans start their final third of the season tonight, one that has a lot of people hoping for a thrilling, 27-game run into the Western Conference playoffs. Though there’s plenty of exciting players on the team, the stoic Jrue Holiday is the key to a Pelicans playoff birth.
Currently standing in eleventh place in the West at 23-32, the Pelicans will have to climb the ladder by winning a fair share of their final stretch of games, something that won’t be an easy task, though their 30th-ranked remaining schedule does them some favors.
