New Orleans Pelicans face likely predicament: Rescheduling of Pacers game could force decision between playoff berth or player health

The NBA has decided the New Orleans Pelicans will make up their postponed game from February 7 with the Indiana Pacers on March 21; however, that decision creates a rather obscene complication.

New Orleans schedule was already quite full around that time next month, but now the Pelicans will be asked to play five times in six days, six times in eight days and seven times in 10 days. Whichever way you slice it, it’s a brutal stretch for a team that is currently in the midst of an intense dogfight in the Western Conference.
