Welcoming a struggling rival at home on the second night of a back-to-back is normally a good feeling and a heck of an advantage when there are so few easy matchups in the Western Conference.

New Orleans can either look at San Antonio and see a franchise they aspire to be one day soon for the necessary fuel, or come out flat and make Monday’s game tougher than it should be.
