Heading back home to the Smoothie King Center, the New Orleans Pelicans will get to have their first home crowd of the preseason. If it’s anything like the team’s sold-out open practice, it could be a tough night for the Utah Jazz to come into the building.
After Nickeil Alexander-Walker played high-level basketball, scored 13 points and logged 7 assists to keep them alive, propelling the Pels to a 127-125 comeback victory against the Chicago Bulls on Monday, they’re ready to face one of the elite teams in the league.
