9) New Orleans Pelicans (3-3)
Last month: 11
The New Orleans Pelicans have been the inverse of the Utah Jazz this season. They lost three of their first four games out of the gate, but have rebounded with back-to-back W’s. The latest was an impressive 22-point win over LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers.
Along the way DeMarcus Cousins notched a 40-point, 20-rebound effort, as well as his first career triple-double. Anthony Davis is back as well after missing two games with a knee injury.
I still don’t like the mix here, but the Pels are right in the thick of things.
