The Philadelphia 76ers play host to the New Orleans Pelicans at the Wells Fargo Center on Monday night.
The New Orleans Pelicans have been in great shape as they’ve won 12 of their last 17 games overall, but they will be looking to bounce back here after having their five-game win streak snapped by the Grizzlies in a 116-101 road loss on Saturday. Zion Williamson led the team with 20 points and nine rebounds, Trey Murphy added 15 points while Jaxson Hayes chipped in with 13 points off the bench. As a team, the Pelicans shot just 35 percent from the field and eight of 30 from the 3-point line which was still enough to hang in the contest and stay within striking distance until the fourth quarter where the Grizzlies poured in 33 points to run away in the end. CJ McCollum had a rough night as he finished with just 10 points on four of 16 shooting while Herbert Jones scored just four points on two of 12 shooting.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in red-hot form as they’ve won nine of their last 11 games overall and they will be looking to stay hot after blowing past the Thunder in a 115-96 road win on Saturday. Tobias Harris led the team with 23 points, nine rebounds and four assists, Shake Milton added 18 points, De’Anthony Melton added 17 points while Joel Embiid tallied 16 points with 13 rebounds and 10 assists. As a team, the 76ers shot 46 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Thunder from the start and were never in danger after dominating the first half by 69-43.
