Among the Western Conference’s other 13 arenas, New Orleans has enjoyed more recent success in Denver’s Ball Arena than perhaps any venue, winning four of its last five trips to the Mile High City, including by a 113-105 tally last month. On Sunday (7 p.m., Bally Sports, 100.3 FM), the Pelicans will try to continue that effectiveness against a Nuggets team that’s gone 18-11 at home this season.
New Orleans’ injury list has not changed recently, with Kira Lewis Jr. (right knee ACL/MCL sprain), Larry Nance Jr. (right knee arthroscopy) and Zion Williamson (right foot fracture) listed as out.
