After a trip to the West Coast that saw the Pelicans pick up a pair of wins and give the Lakers a good fight Tuesday night, New Orleans is back home in the Smoothie King Center for the first time since the All-Star break.
New Orleans has yet another golden opportunity to close the gap between itself and the Memphis Grizzlies, as the Pelicans play host to the lowly Cleveland Cavaliers. The last time New Orleans and Cleveland met, the Pelicans made pretty easy work of the Cavs, winning 125-111.
