The murderer’s row portion of the schedule is upon us.
The New Orleans Pelicans will welcome the Los Angeles Clippers in the Smoothie King Center tonight, marking the start of eight straight contests against formidable foes with winning records.
Next to an upcoming matchup against the Lakers on March 23, this evening’s test versus the Clippers will likely present the most difficult challenge between now and the end of the month.
While the Pelicans didn’t have the services of Zion Williamson, Eric Bledsoe and Lonzo Ball in a 111-106 January loss, this L.A. matchup is a terrible one on paper for New Orleans.
