New Orleans Pelicans

They have lost six consecutive games, only managing to cover the spread once during this period. Their recent defeats include a heavy loss to the Charlotte Hornets and a game against the Denver Nuggets where they struggled defensively. With key players like Brandon Ingram and Dejounte Murray out with injuries, the Pelicans are facing challenges on both ends of the court. Statistically, the team ranks low in both offense and defense, with poor shooting percentages and rebounding numbers. As they continue to struggle, New Orleans may already be looking towards the future and planning for the upcoming NBA Draft.
