NEW ORLEANS SCOUTING REPORT
The New Orleans Pelicans have the most wins this season of any team without current All-Star representation. However, the Pelicans have two former All-Stars, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram. Williamson is the team's leading scorer (22.9 PPG), with Ingram (20.9 PPG) and CJ McCollum (19.7 PPG) close behind at around 20 points per game. New Orleans is in sixth place in the Western Conference and is fighting to avoid the Play-In Tournament, needing any combination of two wins and Phoenix losses to secure a playoff spot.
