It’s also a fascinating contrast in styles, between a Golden State team that popularized and perfected the usage of small lineups vs. a New Orleans supersized frontcourt. The pairing of Davis and Cousins goes against the grain of what the rest of the NBA is doing, with two 6-foot-11 dominant scorers and rebounders patrolling the paint . In four head-to-head meetings last season, Golden State outrebounded New Orleans by 4.5 boards per game, but Cousins didn’t play in any of them. Of the 70 home games, TicketReturn.Com patrons will be exposed to nine different major league affiliates in addition to the New York Yankees during the Battle of the Beaches.
If that wasn’t enough, the Warriors improved their already-lethal stable of perimeter shooters, signing Nick Young and Omri Casspi. On paper, a team that has averaged an absurd 69 wins over the past three regular seasons somehow got even better. The team's second-leading scorer, DeMarcus Cousins, suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon injury during his subsequent final game as a Pelican on January 26, 2018, and missed the remainder of the season. Despite losing Cousins, the Pelicans clinched their first playoff berth since 2015 with a win over the Los Angeles Clippers on April 9, 2018. They finished the season 48–34 to finish in second place in the Southwest Division. When asked about his struggles in playoff elimination games, Harden admits his results have been mixed — but says it’s not entirely on him.
All games
Please note that divisional breakdowns have been omitted as they are still pending due to the addition of two new teams. On November 22, 2017, Anthony Davis reached 7,938 career points, moving him to second in points scored in franchise history after passing Chris Paul. Opponent-wise, Nov. 20 marks the beginning of a tough two-game homestand (Nov. New Orleans have won 17 out of their last 33 games against Phoenix.

For a fourth consecutive year the Myrtle Beach schedule is arranged in a manner that ensures the maximum number of visitors to the Grand Strand will have the opportunity to attend a Pelicans game. There is at least one home game scheduled every calendar week between April 5 and August 27, the final home game of the season, with no longer than eight days between home games at any point.
Per Game
On January 28, 2018, Davis reached 3,857 career rebounds, giving him the all-time franchise high in rebounds after passing David West. Sixers forward Tobias Harris was ruled out for Friday’s victory over the Warriors due to back pain, writes Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. It was Harris’ third missed game of the season, and it’s unclear what his status is going forward. Yes, SeatGeek has parking tickets for Pelicans games here.
It was also the first playoff series sweep in franchise history, and the first time that a team seeded sixth or lower had swept a First Round series since the NBA had expanded the First Round to a best-of-seven series. Week 1 for the Pelicans consists of two games against perennial playoff teams, starting with an Oct. 18 game at Memphis . The opening week (based on the NBA’s new Monday-to-Sunday setup) will conclude Sunday, Oct. 22 at the Lakers, with the home game against Golden State sandwiched in between. This is the third consecutive year in which New Orleans was scheduled to face Golden State during the first four days of the regular season. When the Warriors and Pelicans square off in the second game of the regular season for both teams, half of the 2017 Western Conference All-Star squad will be in uniform . In other words, it’s difficult to find a game anywhere in the league that provides more star power than Golden State-New Orleans.
Recent Game Results

The Pelicans open their 2017 season on the road on April 6 but not before hosting the Charleston RiverDogs, New York Yankees Class A Affiliate, at TicketReturn.Com Field in the Battle of the Beaches.

On April 21, 2018, the Pelicans completed the playoff series sweep over the Portland Trail Blazers, marking the franchise's first series win since 2008.
The pair of challenging home tilts are part of a rough early-season stretch for New Orleans, which plays eight of its first 12 games overall away from Louisiana. Preparation for the Cleveland game Oct. 28 will be a bit condensed, because the Pelicans will play Oct. 26 at Sacramento in a late TNT game, then land at the local Kenner airport in the wee hours of the morning Oct. 27. Normally when a team experiences the Warriors’ level of recent success , roster attrition becomes an issue, because it’s often impossible to retain free agents at rising costs. That wasn’t the case for Golden State this summer, however, as it managed to bring back key reserves Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston, while re-signing recent league MVP winners Curry and Durant.
The Pelicans clinched their first playoff berth since 2015. On February 2, 2018, Davis passed David West in points scored, giving him the all-time franchise high with 8,702. We have tools and resources that can help you use sports data.
