The New Orleans Pelicans won for only the second time on the road this season. However, you could say it was one of the biggest games of the year. Already winners of their last three games, the Pelicans will face two teams currently below .500 on the season. It would be an excellent time to increase the current win streak to five.
The name of the game has been defense for the Pelicans as of late. Two of the three opponents the Pelicans have beaten they have held under 100 points. The Pelicans held Toronto, who is currently 5th in the NBA in scoring, seven points below their season average.
