Fresh off yet another victory, the New Orleans Pelicans will take on an up-and-down Philadelphia 76ers team on Sunday, looking to avenge an opening night loss.
Philly has lost three straight and sit down in the Eastern Conference standings with co-disappointers Boston, New York, and Atlanta. If they want to separate themselves and shoot up to the Cleveland/Chicago/Miami level, the wins better start piling up now. Ben Simmons is still on the roster and gathering unknown amounts of trade interest.
The Pelicans, meanwhile, are within shouting distance of the 10th place Sacramento Kings after wins in three of their last four.
