The New Orleans Pelicans return home to the Smoothie King Center Wednesday night after having played a valiant game in Houston on Monday. The Pelicans, who only had eight healthy players available against the Rockets, gave James Harden and company all they could handle for three quarters, but coming off their second game in as many nights, New Orleans ultimately ran out of gas toward the end of the night.
The Pelicans had Tuesday night off so hopefully they took advantage of the rest because one of the rising teams in the NBA comes to town.
