New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson came into the NBA with a massive target on his back.

The New Orleans Pelicans won seven of their last eight games going into the NBA All-Star break. That’s the good news. Unfortunately, the injury bug is back again.

The New Orleans Pelicans had all the momentum going into the NBA All-Star break. The squad was 7-1 with a road-heavy schedule and now get to restart the season with three straight home games.

The New Orleans Pelicans flew under the radar during the NBA All-Star break.

The New Orleans Pelican biggest bet after the trade deadline is banking on Trey Murphy, who hopes to see a Brinks truck worth of money soon, to turn things around before the NBA Playoffs.
