New Orleans Pelicans have clear path to 2019 playoffs but it involves traversing road less traveled

Play along for a minute and guess the following two teams.

Team A has been a force to be reckoned with so far this season. Their league-leading 116.9 points per 100 possessions on offense has propelled them to a healthy winning percentage over 70%. That figure is anchored by a 58.4 true shooting percentage, but even when the shots aren’t falling, Team A is elite at securing second chances, pulling down 32.2 percent of offensive rebound opportunities, the best rate in the league. For all intents and purposes, Team A is an offensive juggernaut that no team will want to face come playoff time.
