After notching only one victory in the first 13 games, the New Orleans Pelicans have added two more in the last four contests. The trend seems positive, but more confirmation would be preferred. There will be a good chance for that in Indiana with tonight’s matchup against the Pacers.
Despite the addition of Rick Carlisle to the coaching sidelines, and a starting lineup featuring Domantas Sabonis (17.6 points, 11.2 rebounds), Myles Turner (12.8 points, 3.1 blocks), Malcolm Brogdon (21.7 points, 6.2 assists) and Caris LeVert (15.4 points, 3.1 assists), the Pacers have gotten off to a very uneven 6-11 start.
