In a shortened season, every game will matter, which is why a brutal 8-game stretch in March may determine if the New Orleans Pelicans make the playoffs.
The Pelicans’ 2nd-half schedule was released yesterday and overall it looks pretty difficult, though there are still many paths for the Pels to sneak into the playoffs in the crowded Western Conference.
The New Orleans Pelicans will play 36 games overall in the 2nd half of the season, 20 of which will be against teams currently in the playoffs.
