*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Wednesday, February 26th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, February 27th.
New Orleans Pelicans
One club’s loss is another’s gain as the Pels discovered this past week when they faced the Spurs without Victor Wembanyama and got the two-game sweep. It was just the fourth time this season New Orleans won consecutive games.
New Orleans won the initial meeting between these clubs but leaned on Brandon Ingram for that effort so they’ll need someone else to pick up the slack given his exit at the deadline.

Mike Budenholzer returned Beal to the starting unit reuniting him with Durant and Booker which is likely a move he’ll ride moving forward.
While the Suns’ trio all scored over 20 points in their recent outing don’t fall for that trap as the Pelicans have won three of their last four and will be looking to play spoiler.
