New Orleans Pelicans (5-27) versus Washington Wizards (5-24) is a non-conference matchup on Friday night at the Smoothie King Center. This will be a battle between two struggling sides looking to start the year with a win. The Pelicans have looked out of sorts this season, winning only once in their last 10 matches. They are stuck at the bottom of the Western Conference, 21.5 games behind the Thunder at the top. The Pelicans could finally get the elusive win against the Wizards whore are last in the East, 21 games behind the Cavaliers at the top. The Wizards’ two-game winning streak was ended on Sunday after the Knicks won 132-136 in OT. Still, this performance shows they may have finally turned a corner after standing toe-to-toe against one of the most in-form sides in the Eastern Conference. They play the Knicks and the Bulls before traveling to New Orleans.New Orleans Pelicans vs Washington Wizards Form
