Winners of back-to-back games and three of their last four, the New Orleans Pelicans return to the court Monday night and will host the Orlando Magic inside the Smoothie King Center.
Thanks to Saturday night’s 22-point win over the defending Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers, the Pelicans pulled their record up to 3-3, the first time the team’s been exactly .500 since February 2015. If New Orleans wants to surpass that mark, they’ll have to beat one of the current leaders of the Eastern Conference. No, it’s not the Boston Celtics, it’s not the Washington Wizards, it’s.
