When the New Orleans Pelicans take the court against the Toronto Raptors at 7:00 p.m. local time this evening, they will already be feeling the pressure of this road-heavy section of their schedule.
The Pelicans have not been a great road team this year, frequently coming out tentative and plodding in games outside of New Orleans. They will not have that luxury against a Raptors team that boasts the third-best offense in the NBA. Especially considering the Raptors’ strengths compared to the Pelicans’ weaknesses, this is a matchup the Pelicans cannot afford to underestimate.
Toronto scores 114.
