New Orleans Pelicans (5-22) will host New York Knicks (16-10) in a non-conference battle at the Smoothie King Center on Saturday night. The skidding Pelicans cannot seem to win a match this season, no matter how hard they try. They have lost their last four straight matches, leaving the bottom of the Western Conference standings, 16 games behind the Thunder. It will be another challenging test for them against the Knicks, who are flying high in the East. The Knicks are in third spot, 6.5 games behind the Cavs, and have won seven of their last 10 matches. They crashed out of the NBA Cup quarterfinals against the Hawks before bouncing back to secure a 9-point victory over the defensively solid Orlando Magic. It seems their season is only getting started.New Orleans Pelicans vs New York Knicks Form
