The New Orleans Pelicans are back inside the postseason picture.
Winning three straight games coupled with the Thunder, Mavericks and Jazz on recent slides has the Pelicans sitting in ninth place in the standings before the start of today’s action. With nine games left in the regular season and the Western Conference race remaining as tight as ever, this isn’t the time to relax, however.
Finding a way to win at least two of the four games on the current road trip would be ideal, so knocking off the Los Angeles Clippers tonight feels like a must as the next three matchups are against the Trail Blazers, Warriors and Nuggets.
