16. New Orleans Pelicans (10-10)
Last week: 15
The New Orleans Pelicans have lost three games in a row, and are not currently in the top 8 of the Western Conference. That’s trouble, especially considering that we’re already hearing whispers about the potential of Anthony Davis leaving.
This is a team that needed to take a step forward this season, partly to quiet those whispers. However, through the first month of the season, this team has been quite pedestrian after their hot start.
Had it not been for their 4-0 start to the year, this team would be in an even worse spot than they are now. Woof.
