The New Orleans Pelicans have lost four-in-a-row and are barely clinging to their dying playoff chances.
The Pels are 3.5 games behind the 10th place Spurs for the final play-in spot and with time running out, it is now or never for the Pels.
Let’s face it, the only reason they still have any chance at all is because they still have games remaining against some of the teams they are chasing, otherwise we’d already be looking forward to the draft.
