5)      The Pelicans arrived at their Minneapolis hotel at around 2 a.m. this morning. New Orleans will practice at the Target Center this afternoon, then face Minnesota on Wednesday in an ESPN broadcast. Check Pelicans.com later for coverage from practice. The Pelicans were listed 14th through 17th on a range of NBA power rankings this week. According to ESPN.com (which ranked New Orleans 16th), "The Pelicans have missed point guard Elfrid Payton, whom they expect to welcome back from an ankle injury this week. New Orleans jumped out to a 4-1 start before Payton got hurt and are 1-5 without him, although Anthony Davis' elbow injury certainly skews that contrast. The Pelicans' preferred starting five has played only 60 minutes together but has outscored opponents by 49 points."
