The New Orleans Pelicans currently find themselves in the Western Conference cellar.
They’ve registered a lone victory in eight games.
You know things probably aren’t going well when the Sacramento Kings, who have missed the playoffs 15 years straight, are sitting with two additional wins in the standings.
That’s the Pels’ opponent tonight, and they’ve already fallen to them on the season, a 113-109 loss last Friday.
The harsh reality is, these Pelicans aren’t good enough to produce victories yet. Not right now. Not with Zion Williamson out indefinitely to start the season — and especially with Brandon Ingram missing the last few games.
