Despite the loss of Zion Williamson for the remainder of the Summer League, and not having Frank Jackson or Christian Wood in the lineup, the New Orleans Pelicans may be the hottest ticket in Las Vegas.
Since the debut of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jaxson Hayes, and Marcos Louzada Silva, the team has found a nice rhythm—winning their last two contests by a combined 58 points.
The team jumped out to an early lead just like their prior contest against the Chicago Bulls and never looked back. Entering the second half they possessed a 23-point lead, more than enough to maintain until the final buzzer.
