The New Orleans Pelicans are riding a modest two-game win streak behind the improved play of Lonzo Ball and his defense will be key against Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Pelicans have looked like a different team over the last several games, largely because Lonzo Ball has been playing lockdown defense and finally started making some shots.
He is adjusting to a new role on the offensive end, often playing off the ball and being more of a spot-up shooter.
