The New Orleans Pelicans are watching as their playoff odds continue to drop. ESPN has reduced their odds from 3.3% last week to 1%. Their odds have fallen according to all four websites we track. As I mentioned last week the schedule is about to become incredibly unkind. The Pelicans face three more games to end the week, all against teams above .500, and two of those are on the road versus the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs. New Orleans has not won on the road in either Houston or San Antonio since 2014 and sports a combined six game losing streak.
