A look at three key numbers related to Wednesday’s game at Golden 1 Center between New Orleans and Sacramento (9 p.m. Central, Bally Sports New Orleans, 100.3 FM):
+33: New Orleans rookie forward Herbert Jones’ team-best plus-minus through the first eight games of his NBA career. The Pelicans have been outscored by an aggregate of 59 points so far, meaning that when Jones is not on the court, opponents have held a 92-point advantage. The Alabama product’s impact on the game was again illustrated Tuesday in New Orleans’ 12-point defeat to Phoenix. The Pelicans were plus-5 during Jones’ 19 minutes of playing time, but were outscored by 17 otherwise.
