The New Orleans Pelicans have clawed their way back into playoff contention behind MVP-level play from Zion Williamson.
Zion has been spectacular lately and has put the young Pelicans on his back. Just a few weeks ago it looked like they were destined for the lottery, as they weren’t playing well and were heading into the most difficult 8-game stretch of the season.
But the Pels won five of those games are are now primed to make a run at the play-in tournament, as they are only 1.
