The New Orleans Pelicans (10-9) walk into Washington looking for the perfect “pick me up.” And while standard theory may suggest that the 6-11 Wizards should provide the exact medicine needed for a Pels team coming off a couple of road losses, the on-floor product will have to outweigh the production.
After a week of extended drama, the Wizards will look to build on their most recent come from behind victory against the Los Angeles Clippers. As for the Pelicans, they’ll look to turn around a road record that has gotten off to the roughest of starts and they’ve already lost two of their three road trip matchups this week.
