The New Orleans Pelicans have simply owned the Memphis Grizzlies of late, especially at home.
They’ve posted six wins in their last seven matchups. An 8-1 record in the last nine matchups inside the Smoothie King Center. And there’s more favorable news which should boost New Orleans’ odds for victory.
Ja Morant, who was listed as questionable with left ankle soreness, will sit out.
The Pelicans are obviously catching a break but will they take advantage?
One interesting note from Taylor Jenkin’s pregame media session, the Memphis head coach talked about how New Orleans now has two professional scorers in Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum.
