Fortunately for New Orleans, the team was able to get the best of the Sacramento Kings in the next game of the Play-In Tournament in order to secure their position in the eighth spot in the Western Conference, resulting in the team having to play the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of ..read more

(Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)   The sports gambling industry keeps making strides in major sports, and particularly in the NBA. Commissioner Adam Silver has embraced the industry with open arms, up to the point where they’ve even included live odds in the NBA Pass app broadcast. Of course, it seemed like it was just a matter of time before this backfired. That’s why the league decided to make an example out of Toronto Raptors’ PF Jontay Porter, who was recently given a lifetime ban for betting on NBA games. With that in mind, New Orleans Pelicans F/C Larry Nance Jr. cracked a bit ..read more

(Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images)   On Tuesday night, the New Orleans Pelicans had an opportunity to advance to the first round of the NBA playoffs, with the team needing to beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the first game of the Play-In Tournament. Even though the team was coming off a blowout loss to the Lakers, the Pelicans came to play on Tuesday, with star forward Zion Williamson having one of the best games of his NBA career. Williamson was relentless in his drives to the basket on Tuesday, with the Lakers having no answer for the former No. 1 overall pick, as he scored at will ..read more

(Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images)   Following their loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, the New Orleans Pelicans will now face the Sacramento Kings on Friday night for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. But they may be taking on that team without the assistance of their biggest star, Zion Williamson. Williamson injured himself toward the end of the Lakers game and limped off the court, a devastating blow for the Pelicans that might have cost them the game. Shams Charania is reporting that Williamson suffered a left hamstring injury and that tests will be done on Wedn ..read more

(Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty Images)   The Western Conference has been a jumble of teams, including the New Orleans Pelicans, jostling for playoff positioning during the 2023-24 NBA season. The Pelicans started off the regular season hot and owned the No. 1 seed for a moment before injuries caught up to them and caused them to slip down the standings. Heading into their regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans has a chance to avoid the Play-In Tournament entirely with a win. With such a huge game on the line, New Orleans will need all the help it can get to beat a ..read more

(Photo by Tyler Kaufman/Getty Images)   The New Orleans Pelicans head into the final game of the NBA season with a chance to solidify the No. 6 seed in the loaded Western Conference and are one of the young teams on the rise that nobody will be excited about seeing in the playoffs. Veteran guard CJ McCollum has been a stabilizing force all season as he has stayed healthy once again and put up the best 3-point shooting season of his career at 42.9 percent on 8.4 attempts per game. McCollum shared a simple message on Twitter ahead of the playoffs yesterday, saying he is “grateful” for how t ..read more

(Photo by Chris Coduto/Getty Images)   While the Denver Nuggets seem to clearly be the best team in the Western Conference and maybe the entire NBA, there is lots of depth and parity elsewhere in the West. One team that could be a threat is the New Orleans Pelicans, who have been on the rise for a few years. Many have loved their potential and even called them potential championship contenders, but Shaquille O’Neal said on the “NBA on TNT” that they won’t go far in the playoffs this year. “I don’t see them beating the Clippers, OKC, Minnesota, or Denver. They’re on the come up but you jus ..read more

(Photo by Chris Coduto/Getty Images)   The New Orleans Pelicans scored an important win on Sunday night, beating the Phoenix Suns, 113-105. Unsurprisingly, Zion Williamson had yet another big game, scoring 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. Andrew Lopez pointed out a very impressive fact on Monday morning, revealing that Sunday was the first time that Williamson made multiple two-point jump shots outside of 10 feet in the same game. Lopez said that Williamson works on the shot all the time in practice. “Using it more in games will help when teams pack the paint against Pels’ O,” Lopez ..read more

(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)   The New Orleans Pelicans have been one of the best and most consistent teams in the league this season. Nonetheless, as history has shown us, those kinds of teams can only go as far as their star players can lead them, at least in the playoffs. That’s why it was so crucial for them to get Brandon Ingram back on the floor as soon as possible. Fortunately for them, it seems like that’s just about to happen. As reported by the Pelicans on Twitter, the star forward has now been cleared to begin individual on-court workouts and will “gradually increase ..read more

(Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty Images)   At this point in the season, multiple teams are attempting to secure their place in the playoffs and that means that every win counts. On Monday night, the New Orleans Pelicans fell, 124-111, to the Phoenix Suns, mostly because of the amazing 52-point performance of Devin Booker. Following that loss, New Orleans head coach Willie Green spoke about his team’s defense against Booker. More specifically, he spoke about his team’s lack of defense against him. “Quite frankly, we were soft guarding him. We had a soft mentality when it came to bein ..read more
