The Pelicans have the second-worst record in the Western Conference at 18-48. New Orleans has dealt with multiple injuries all season to every member of its rotation, most notably from guard Dejounte Murray, who only played 31 games this season before he ruptured his right Achilles tendon, which ended his season on Jan. 31.

Zion Williamson firmó 22 puntos, 12 asistencias y diez rebotes, y los Pelicans de Nueva Orleans rompieron una racha de cuatro derrotas con la victoria 127-120 el
