Head-to-head statistics Pelicans - Memphis
New Orleans Pelicans Team Overview
The New Orleans Pelicans are going through a tough stretch, having lost their last four games in a row and securing just one victory in their last ten outings. This streak is denting the team's confidence ahead of their upcoming clash with the Grizzlies. Offensively, they have been struggling, posting the league's worst offensive rating with minimal points per game. Their defense also falters, leaving them vulnerable to opponents' fast breaks.
The Western Conference underdogs recently snapped their losing streak by defeating the offensively potent Chicago Bulls 143-130. A significant boost came from the return of their leader, Zion, who scored 29 points after yet another injury layoff. His comeback seemed to inspire his teammates, who delivered an impressive shooting performance. However, the key to their success was their dominance on the boards, where the Pelicans crushed their opponents 55-33 in rebounds.

Memphis Grizzlies Team Overview
The Memphis Grizzlies are showing inconsistent form, with two wins and three losses in their last five games, indicating that they still need to stabilize their performance. The team favors a fast-paced game and aggressive attacks in the paint, but often makes defensive errors. On the road, they seldom score more than 116 points-a crucial factor ahead of their matchup against New Orleans. However, the Grizzlies have performed well against today's opponent, winning their last five head-to-head meetings.
In their previous game, Isalo's squad faced Denver at home and fell short (115-125). Without their leader Morant, they looked solid offensively but ultimately couldn't keep up with Jokic and his team over the course of the game. Landale stood out with 26 points and 10 rebounds. However, how this lineup will perform moving forward with so many injuries remains a significant question.
