Tonight’s game is a big one for the New Orleans Pelicans.
With the race for the playoffs still with a small bit of hope, winning every game is important. However, winning games against other teams fighting for that spot is vital.
They will get one of those teams at home tonight in the Portland Trail-Blazers.
The Trail-Blazers are currently 29-36, good for the ninth best record in the West. That is just a game and a half back of the eighth seeded Denver Nuggets. Portland has been on a tear of late, winning five of their past six games.
