The New Orleans Pelicans still have a tiny chance to make the playoffs thanks to the NBA play-in tournament.

There is still a path for them to get there, as just 1.5 games separate the Pelicans from the 10th-place Spurs, who are in a free fall having lost five-in-a-row.

The Pelicans are not only going to need some help from other teams but they are going to need Lonzo Ball to continue his red hot 3-point shooting to have a chance.
