The month of April could go both ways for the New Orleans Pelicans.
It could end up being a bitter end to a tough season. However, it could also become the saving grace to a run at the playoffs, similar to the 2014-2015 Pelicans.
New Orleans used a 6-3 record in the nine April games two years ago to edge out the Oklahoma City Thunder and make the playoffs. They went in as the eighth seed for their first playoffs since 2011. They will more than likely need a similar run to make it back this year, as most of their schedule will prove difficult.
