The New Orleans Pelicans find themselves in a tough spot. With just 20 games remaining, they are not only going to have to get hot, but will need some help if they want to make the playoffs.
After losing three in a row, including a terrible home loss to the Timberwolves, the New Orleans Pelicans chances of nabbing the eight seed are rapidly disappearing.
The Pelicans showed improved defense against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, but it was not enough to stop the duo of Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis, who put 64 combined points on the Pelicans in their overtime win.
