A week into the unofficial second half of the NBA regular season, only four of the league’s teams have gone undefeated since the All-Star break. Two of those squads will meet Friday in New Orleans, when the Pelicans host the Utah Jazz (7 p.m., Bally Sports, 100.3 FM). The others are Philadelphia and the LA Clippers.
For both New Orleans and Utah, there have been few changes to recent injury reports. On the official list submitted to the NBA on Thursday afternoon, the Pelicans’ update remains the same, with Kira Lewis Jr. (right knee ACL/MCL sprain), Larry Nance Jr.
