New Orleans Pelicans (37-33)

Last week: 1-3
Last rank: 11


I’m not sure what other breaks the New Orleans Pelicans need at this point, but they’re going to have a good as chance as they’ve had in a very long time to make this playoffs this season. With what appears to be the entire OKC team on the mend, the Pelicans will have an opportunity to take advantage and squeeze by the Thunder in order to make the postseason.

Although, it appears that the Phoenix Suns are going to make one last-ditch run of their own, as they are tied with the Pelicans in the loss column, three losses behind the Thunder.
