The New Orleans Pelicans have not delivered as promised as a young, upstart Western Conference contender this season, primarily because the team’s defense is not really up to snuff. Zion Williamson is listed as questionable tonight with a foot issue, while Memphis’ Ja Morant missed the Grizzlies’ previous game against Washington. Desmond Bane also missed that game, and when neither Morant nor Bane play, the Grizz are 0-3.
In the nightcap, we have the Brooklyn Nets, which at this point is Kevin Durant goes nuclear and the team can win and if not the team is probably losing.
