The New Orleans Pelicans are looking extend their three-game win streak when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
The big question is: will the Pelicans feature Western Conference All-Star starter Zion Williamson? Zion has missed 27 games this season, including the last 19 in a row.
Although the Pelicans have won their last three without Zion, they have struggled mightily in his absence. The Pelicans dropped a whopping 10 games consecutively through mid-January and early February to now sit seventh in the West with a record of 29-27.
Despite having missed nearly half of the season so far; Williamson was voted as a starter to the All-Star game in Utah, with averages of 26.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.
