The New Orleans Pelicans have had a rough stretch, and the team has lost four of its last five games. Included in those four games are losses to Philadelphia and Phoenix, two teams that are downright awful. The Pelicans defense has been unsatisfactory and the offense simply cannot keep pace without a single reliable scoring option. It’s possible the Pelicans can close the season with a win, though.
The New Orleans Pelicans will close the season against a team that will not crack the 30 win threshold. The Minnesota Timberwolves have won just 28 games so far, but there is a lot of energy and hope surrounding the Timberwolves franchise.
