Worst vs Worst: Losing streaks collide as Pelicans host Wizards

The New Orleans Pelicans host the Washington Wizards on Friday night in the Smoothie King Center in a matchup of the teams in the basements of their respective conferences.

The Pelicans come in riding an 11-game losing streak, including seven straight losses at home, while the Wizards haven’t won on the road in their last 12 attempts. It’s the resistible force versus the moveable object, and one can only imagine who will come out on top.

Can Pelicans find a match for Brandon Ingram before trade deadline?

Brandon Ingram is supposed to be a star. After being drafted second overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2016, he was seen as the prototypical wing forward for his length, feathery scoring touch, and high potential. After three seasons with the Lakers, Ingram was considered the centerpiece for the New Orleans Pelicans when they got him in the blockbuster trade that sent Anthony Davis to Los Angeles.

Pelicans center Yves Missi named Western Conference Rookie of the Month

The New Orleans Pelicans’ season has gone anyway but as planned. However, center Yves Missi has been one of the few bright spots. The 20-year-old center has played above his draft status throughout his rookie campaign, offering a glimmer of hope for a team decimated by injuries and sitting at a league-worst 5-29 record.

Rumors: Are Pelicans moving closer to trading Brandon Ingram?

The New Orleans Pelicans have reached a crossroads, navigating a season marred by injuries and disappointment and feeling the burden of five-plus seasons without a playoff series win. With a league-worst 5-29 record, the team is reportedly ready to make drastic changes ahead of the February 6 trade deadline. Brandon Ingram, Herb Jones, and Zion Williamson are at the center of these discussions, and any trade scenarios involving one or more of that trio will dramatically reshape the Pelicans’ future.

Dejounte Murray is having his worst season ever, what can the Pelicans do?

The New Orleans Pelicans’ season is unraveling, and fans have every right to be frustrated. The Pels reside at the bottom of the Western Conference standings with the league’s second-worst record and have lost eight games in a row. This was not the campaign anyone would have envisioned coming off a 49-win campaign. Optimism was even higher after the Pelicans traded for former All-Star guard Dejounte Murray, but injuries, inconsistency, and chemistry issues have led to a growing sense of uncertainty.
