13. New Orleans Pelicans (4-6)
Last week: 3
The New Orleans Pelicans, as expected, have struggled without Anthony Davis in the lineup. The Pelicans have lost five games in a row and Anthony Davis has missed three of those games. In the other two games, he’s struggled mightily with his shot.
As he echoed, when Davis doesn’t play close to perfect New Orleans has little-to-no chance to win – or at least it seems that way. After a fast start to the season, the Pelicans have really struggled over the last week, and it’s only going to fuel the AD trade whispers.
I believe the Pelicans will recover and be fine, but the last week has been pretty rough for this team.
