The Pelicans (8-20) kick off a two-game road trip against the San Antonio Spurs (9-16) on Sunday evening. New Orleans will try to post their second win in a row after Friday’s victory over the Detroit Pistons. The Spurs are entering the contest on a bit of a skid, losing three of their last four games.
Today’s matchup marks the first of four meetings between the division rivals. Despite the similar records, San Antonio still represents an interesting challenge. New Orleans probably has the best top end talents in this matchup, with center Jonas Valanciunas and forward Brandon Ingram; however, the Spurs are a deep team.
