The New Orleans Pelicans have had one of the most difficult schedules in the NBA so far and it has helped lead to their 5-9 start.
Of course, there are plenty of other reasons for their struggles, but the schedule has been tough and will lighten up a bit against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are 3-9 to start the season.
This is a game the Pelicans should win, and if they don’t, it is fair to start asking some difficult questions about where this season is headed.
