What to Know
Pelicans fans better hope the squad plays one heck of a game on Monday as the odds are decidedly against them. Having just played yesterday, they will head out on the road to face off against the Atlanta Hawks at 7:30 p.m. ET at State Farm Arena. The Pelicans are no doubt hoping to put an end to a ten-game streak of away losses.
The Pelicans are headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week's over/under low at 224.5, but even that wound up being too high. They suffered a bruising 118-85 defeat at the hands of the Knicks on Sunday. The matchup marked New Orleans' lowest-scoring game so far this season.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, the Pelicans struggled to work together and finished the game with only 20 assists. They are winless (0-4) when they just don't pass the ball.
Meanwhile, the Hawks entered their tilt with the Hornets on Saturday with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. They had just enough and edged Charlotte out 107-104. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win Atlanta has posted since March 25th.
New Orleans' loss dropped their record down to 4-17. As for Atlanta, their victory bumped their record up to 10-11.
