The New Orleans Pelicans will look to close out the extended stay at home against the Memphis Grizzlies. Winning five of their six games in the current stretch so far, the Pelicans have started to chip away at the lead the Portland Trailblazers, Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings have over the Pelicans in the race for the eighth seed. Taking care of the weak teams they should beat and playing their best basketball against strong opponents, the Pelicans have finally hit their stride.
The Memphis Grizzlies will be a huge test for the Pelicans, as the Grizzlies are currently fifth in the Western Conference standings and have won four of their last five.
