The New Orleans Pelicans have started to hit their stride as the team's health improves. The teams' two young stars Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson are back on the floor together and veteran point guard CJ McCollum is back leading the offense. That was never more evident than in the team's recent 129-109 win over the Lakers in which Ingram and Williamson each scored 26 points while McCollum chipped in with 23 points. When fully healthy, this is a team that can make noise in the Western Conference playoffs.
The Pels are now 7-3 in their last ten games prior to last night's home game against the struggling Nets. The Pelicans come into this matchup with Minnesota ranked 12th in the NBA in scoring offense. They are ninth in field goal percentage and 14th in 3-point shooting. The Pelicans are just 26th in the NBA in 3-point field goals per game. Defensively, the y are 12th in points allowed per game. They are 11th in opponent's field goal percentage and a solid fourth in 3-point defense. The Pels are 14th in total rebounding per game and 15th in turnovers per game.
