The Pelicans will kick off the second half of their 2020-21 schedule tonight against the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves, yet this matchup must not be overlooked by fans or players in New Orleans.
Despite the fact that the Wolves currently occupy the cellar in the Western Conference and have lost 13 of their last 15 games, victory is not assured for the Pelicans. They were defeated in Minnesota in late January by a final score of 120-110, and to be perfectly honest, that loss was emblematic.
On any given night, the Pelicans are liable to win or lose regardless the quality of their opponent.
