The New Orleans Pelicans (25-33) are coming off a tough loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, and with the Lakers coming into town for a rematch on Sunday, this game against the Cavs has “trap” written all over it.
The Cavaliers (17-41) have been one of the NBA’s worst teams for most of the season, but have come on of late, winning four of their last five games.
The Cavs took care of business against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday behind 28 points from second year player Colin Sexton.
Sexton has been hot, netting 21.
