What was meant to be smooth sailing has turned stormy, as the Pelicans continue to struggle after the excitement of the All-Star break. They’ll look to right the ship this Sunday, in what should be a good matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Pelicans have struggled to fit All-Star center Demarcus “Boogie” Cousins into their lineup, going 1-4 since acquiring the big man. That, however, does not mean there is no hope. After a promising game against the Spurs on Friday, New Orleans looks to find a new wave of momentum to bring them into the playoffs.
