Latest news and updates about the Pelicans
Sometimes it’s nice to have a relaxing win against a team the Rockets really should beat. That doesn’t always happen, but tonight it did. While the Rockets seem unlikely to hit a pre-season win prediction of 52, they have leveled their road record at 19-19, and they did it in dominant fashion at The Big […]
This is a revenge game for the Toronto Raptors. Sort of. Some have said that the Raps’ last loss to the Pelicans and the brutal staredown Jamal Shead suffered at the hands of Dejounte Murray were the catalyst to the Raptors getting their act back together and winning three games in a row. This game […]
Last night in Memphis Victor Wembanyama tallied seven more blocks. That is his most blocks in game this season since tallying 9 in their October 24th overtime win against the New Orleans Pelicans, the second game of their season. With a grand total of 610 blocks, Wemby elevates to 230th all-time moving past Jamaal Magloire, […]
It looked like a game against the Pels… …until Knicks captain Jalen Brunson took over. Here’s what was said before and after New York won its seventh consecutive game. Mike Brown On Brunson’s clutch performance against New Orleans: “That’s what great players do. Great players, when it matters the most, when the pressure’s the highest, […]
Two teams with palindromic records squared off at Madison Square Garden tonight. One team sits three slots down from the top of their conference, while the other is five up from the bottom of theirs. The distance between the clubs is misleading, though. With Zion Williamson sporting the physique of a Marvel hero, Dejounte Murray […]
The New York Knicks (47*-25) host the New Orleans Pelicans (25-47) tonight at Madison Square Garden. This matchup gives the Knicks a chance to pad their Eastern Conference standing against a weak Western team that doesn’t always play like it. Zion broke 30 points when they played last, and Dejounte Murray has given the birds […]
The Knicks are back on the schedule to face Zion’s Pelicans on Tuesday evening. New York is just half a game behind the Celtics for the No. 2 seed in the East. Would you believe it!? Here’s the latest. Mike Brown On Mikal Bridges’ history of production: “He’s shown time after time that he’s a […]
Tonight, the Knicks (47*-25) host the Pelicans (25-47) at Madison Square Garden.

The teams last met December 29, 2025, with the Knicks winning 130-125 at the Smoothie King Arena. Brunson led New York with […]
It wasn’t the prettiest game, but the Cleveland Cavaliers did enough in the fourth quarter to erase a 15-point deficit to defeat the New Orleans Pelicans 111-106. The Cavs found themselves down by double figures late, mostly due to their offense stalling out in the second and third quarters. Donovan Mitchell going 2-9 from the […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers narrowly won their final game of this road trip. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. LOSER- Offensive Purpose I’ll just say it. This was one of the uglier games the Cavs have played this season. Calling it sloppy would be an understatement. For long stretches of this game, I had no […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers made things more interesting than they needed to be. They fell down by 15 early in the fourth quarter to a bad New Orleans Pelicans team before turning things around. Strong finishes from James Harden and Donovan Mitchell were enough to secure the 111-106 victory. As has been a recent trend, the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to finish off this three-game road trip with three-straight wins. Like the other two teams the Cavs have already faced, their opponent on Saturday — the New Orleans Pelicans — isn’t exactly playing their best basketball. The Pelicans aren’t tanking. They don’t have their 2026 first after trading it away […]

As of this post, the three teams are separated by one game, with Memphis (23-44) having two fewer losses than Dallas (23-46) and New Orleans (23-46). As the […]
How quickly things can change. It was just a week ago that the Toronto Raptors lost by double digits to the New Orleans Pelicans, and the team (minus Immanuel Quickley) seemed perfectly alright with Dejounte Murray punking Jamal Shead. The team was dealing with the (data-backed) narrative that they took care of bad teams but […]
The Mavericks were 2-3 this past week and dropped to 13th place in the West. They lost by double-digits thrice, to Atlanta (124-112), Cleveland (138-105), and New Orleans (129-111), and beat Memphis (120-112) and Cleveland (130-120). Cooper Flagg led the team in scoring with 20 points per game. Grade: B The Mavericks got clobbered in […]

The Dallas Mavericks lost 129-111 to the New Orleans Pelicans Monday night in New Orleans. This was the Mavericks fourth game in five nights, a rarity in the modern NBA, and the team certainly looked sluggish. New Orleans waxed the Mavericks from about midway through the first quarter and never truly looked back. The Pelicans […]
The Dallas Mavericks leaned further into the tank on Monday night, falling 129-111 to the New Orleans Pelicans in a game that never truly felt competitive down the stretch. Dallas showed brief life early, but couldn’t sustain it as the Pelicans controlled the pace and physicality for most of the night. Naji Marshall led the […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-45) head to Louisiana to face of against an old friend/foe in the New Orleans Pelicans (22-46).

They have no incentive to […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-45) are playing their second game in as many nights and their fourth in the last five days on Monday against the Pelicans in New Orleans. It is a tale of two tanks: one with real stakes, and a top-four pick on the line, and one with nothing to play for except […]
