After two days of rest, the New Orleans Pelicans look to keep the winning streak alive against the Indiana Pacers. Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins, who each logged over 80 minutes a piece on the Pelicans first back-to-back of the season, surely enjoyed the down time. They’ll face a Pacers team returning home after a long road trip of their own and smarting after a late game collapse against the New York Knicks on Sunday night.
Indiana has been a bit of a surprise, ripping off victories over the Minnesota Timberwolves (without Jimmy Butler), San Antonio Spurs (without Kawhi Leonard), and Cleveland Cavaliers (lacking both direction and heart).
