With only a few games separating the New Orleans Pelicans from the eighth seed in the Western Conference, every win means a lot.
They should have a great chance at one tonight, against the Brooklyn Nets.
Brooklyn has the worst record in the NBA at 8-29, which includes a seven game losing streak coming into this game.
Since December 1st of last year, the Nets have won just three games out of their past 20. Those three wins against the Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets and Charlotte Hornets.
The Nets are the worst team in the NBA in defense, giving up an average of 114.
