The New Orleans Pelicans have been in a free fall down the standings for the better part of this month, having lost eight of their last nine games, but the hope is a lengthy stay at home can cure some ills.
A six-game home stand begins tonight, with the Spurs up first on the docket. While San Antonio isn’t among the elite in the West anymore, they’re a disciplined opponent who won’t beat themselves. Case in point, the Spurs are arriving off an easy 121-101 victory last night against the Wizards, one of the worst teams in the league.
