The New Orleans Pelicans will look to improve to 16-8 on the season with a victory over tonight’s opponent, the Detroit Pistons.
That outcome seems probable, considering the team from Motown has won only seven times through 26 games, is expected to be without their best player in Cade Cunningham and are on the second night of a back-to-back, though, after beating the Miami Heat yesterday.
So it begets the question, when did the New Orleans franchise last enjoy this strong of a start in its short history?
Although the 2010-11 squad began with an 11-1 record, they quickly slipped back down the standings, finding themselves at 14-10 through the first 24 games.
