The New Orleans Pelicans are playing a back-to-back game with their Saturday matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. New Orleans had their four-game winning streak snapped after losing to the Grizzlies on Friday night. Now, they face the struggling Hornets on the road, who have the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference.
There is much uncertainty about whether the currently constructed Pelicans will look the same now as they will after the trade deadline. Brandon Ingram's name is speculated to be on the trading block, considering he is in the final year of his contract. The former all-star forward has been out since December 7th with an ankle injury.
