The New Orleans Pelicans (12-12) welcome the Denver Nuggets (13-10) on Wednesday evening inside the Smoothie King Center. If attending the event in person is not a possibility, the 7:00 p.m. tip-off can be viewed on Fox Sports New Orleans and WRNO 99.5 FM.
The number, one hundred and forty-six, has special meaning for every New Orleans fan. This is the amount of points the Pelicans gave up to the Nuggets in their last meeting on November 17, setting a dubious record for the most points scored by an opponent in franchise history.
The 146-114 defeat was a mind-numbingly bad performance and Head Coach Alvin Gentry made no bones about it, labeling it an embarrassing day for the Pelicans franchise.
