The New Orleans Pelicans are now just 12-17 after their most recent loss to the Phoenix Suns, so it’s not too early to start looking at the lottery odds.
The Pelicans had playoff aspirations coming into the season, and at times they have looked the part, winning four in a row recently before falling back to Earth.
Barring a huge run, the Pelicans’ inconsistency will likely keep them out of the playoffs, which isn’t the worst thing considering they need an injection of talent that they might be able to get with another lottery pick in the draft.
