The New Orleans Pelicans (11-8) will do battle with the Golden State Warriors (14-5) on Saturday night inside what’s sure to be a boisterous Oracle Arena. The game will tip off at 7:30 p.m. central, so be sure to tune into Joel Meyers and David Wesley on Fox Sports New Orleans or listen to Sean Kelley and John Deshazier over the airwaves on WRNO 99.5 FM.
Days after DeMarcus Cousins was traded to New Orleans last February, many immediately started salivating about a potential Pelicans-Warriors matchup in the first round of the 2017 playoffs.
