After a rough start to the 2019-2020 season, the New Orleans Pelicans took home victories in three of their last five contests, despite injuries holding out four of their top five scorers for at least a game over the stretch.
Beating the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night, the Pelicans have another chance to take on a struggling Western Conference opponent battling their own injury woes in the Portland Trail Blazers.
Tonight’s game is set for a 7 p.m. CT tip-off from the friendly confines of the Smoothie King Center.
Five days ago, the LA Clippers debuted Paul George in New Orleans, a game where the Pelicans took home a 132-127 victory over the title-contending team.
