Because of the In-Season Tournament, the Pelicans went 5-0 vs the Kings this season.
They are the first team to go 5-0 vs a single opponent in a season since the Heat against the Nets in 1995-96.

We’ve also got a potential FOUR-WAY TIE at 7-10 in play. Kings, Lakers and Warriors at 35 losses would have to win out. Suns could drop both games left to join.
In that case it goes H2H records.

FYI: CJ’s 9 3-pointers tonight gives him 227 for the season.
He’s 4 shy of tying Peja Stojakovic’s single-season Pelicans record for 3s in a season.
He’s likely going to break the record despite missing 15 games this year. – 12:09 AM

Draymond Green and Klay Thompson are both out tonight in Portland. Gary Payton II is now questionable with calf tightness. The Warriors will try to beat the 21-58 Blazers without a chunk of their rotation, setting up a huge back-to-back at home tomorrow vs Pelicans. – 4:32 PM
