The Pelicans will host the Orlando Magic tonight, and while this matchup would never be considered an intimidating one on paper, it’s impossible to overlook how often New Orleans has played down to the level of the competition this season. Plus, there’s a good chance that the margin for error will be small as the Pelicans could be without their top three scorers.
Zion Williamson (sprained right thumb) and Lonzo Ball (right hip flexor strain) were ruled out this afternoon, and Brandon Ingram was listed as doubtful with a right first MTP (big toe) irritation.
