With two wins on the bounce, New Orleans Pelicans have punched above their weight to show the stomach for a fight and remind everyone of their existence in the league. Back in contention for a spot in the top 8, the side has not only managed to give its ardent supporters something to rejoice in but also spruce a diminishing season with fresh life.
Although the 28-36 record sees them quite some distance off a spot in the top 8 of the Western Conference, the side has managed to show off late that when functioning as a unit, it can challenge any side in the league. They have taken massive strides to move into 10th spot, a position the side has on at the expense of their opponents of the day.

Dream 11 Picks
SAC Vs NOP Dream11 Point Guard
All across this season, although New Orleans Pelicans have been lambasted for their defensive units, the attacking component has not left its supporters disgruntled. In their point guards, the side has two names whose tenacity has seen them move in tandem and manifest their expansive skill set to pull off impressive performances.
With 19 ppg, Jure Holiday becomes the first name from the setup to be inducted into our Dream 11 outfit along with Lorenzo Ball who has pulled off the 12.7 ppg, 6 apg and 7 rpg to go with them.
SAC Vs NOP Dream11 Shooting Guard
With a magnitude of his 14 ppg coming owing to his ability to open the zone and send down triples, Bogdan Bogdanovic was always going to be a must have pick for us today. The player is going to be pivotal to the Kings’ chances of pulling off a win today with his ability to drop points from the field at a high conversion rate coming to the fore on the day.
SAC Vs NOP Dream11 Small Forward
The visiting unit’s leading scorer with the 24.3 ppg, Brandon Ingram was someone we couldn’t go without for today’s impending encounter. The player has been the mainstay of his side’s attacking gameplan all season, a name who has utilised his vast attributes to send down midrange treys to lead his side’s late surge towards a spot in the top 8.
Elsewhere, after ensuring one of his brightest spells in the league at the moment, Kent Bazemore will be our pick from the Kings for the outing.
SAC Vs NOP Dream11 Power Forward
His staggering 23.3 ppg see us move in for Zion Williamson without any deliberations. The player has heralded his way a haord of plaudits owing to the steadfast way he’s ushered his way points in the paint to become part of the side’s shootarounds in absolutely no time.
SAC Vs NOP Dream11 Centre
New Orleans Pelicans’ most pristine defensive player with an astounding 8.5 rpg, Derrick Favors was always going to be an instant pick for us in this ambit. The player’s ability to guard and screen players has seen him come up with quick break points, ones which have seen him transition the ball from defence to attack with ease.
The home side find representation in the form of one player as well with us delving into the services of Harry Giles for the day.
Star Player
Ball will represent our side as the star player today courtesy of his ability to drop-triple doubles.
