The New Orleans Pelicans have the chance to get out to a great start this season.
The first part of their schedule is fairly easy, and even though they play some good teams, there isn’t a really tough stretch of games until late November.
There is debate about whether the Pelicans have improved, and we’ll get a good indication right away, as they should be able to string together some wins in the beginning, unlike last season when the front half of the schedule was loaded with marquee games.
