Fresh off of the jubilation of ousting a formidable opponent in a tight game, the New Orleans Pelicans (4-10) venture off to Atlanta to trade pecks against the Hawks (9-4).
(Get it, pecks? Beaks? Birds? Nailed it.)
Living up to their label of consistency over the last few seasons, the Hawks currently sit in second atop the Eastern Conference standings despite a new cast of characters.
Some assorted things to look out for:
- Dwight Howard’s return home has gone swimmingly thus far, with the big man looking more engaged on both ends than he did towards the end in Houston.
