1) After going through a busier eight-day stretch than any NBA team will have all season, Week 24 of the schedule for the Pelicans is the exact opposite. New Orleans (43-31) only has two games over the next six days, hosting Portland (45-28) on Tuesday and visiting Cleveland (44-29) on Friday. Of the team’s eight remaining regular season games, six are against opponents that currently sport winning records. An Easter home game vs. Oklahoma City (44-31) is also part of the team's Week 24 schedule, with the NBA's weeks running from Monday to Sunday.
2) Due to the light schedule, there should be a significant amount of scoreboard watching for Pelicans fans over the next six days, starting with Monday’s slate.
