The Bulls and Pacers are currently ninth and fifth, respectively, in the East. On NBA.com’s power rankings, New Orleans is down one spot to No. 17, with writer John Schuhmann noting, “(Zion) Williamson clearly has some chemistry with Lonzo Ball, who has assisted on a third (16) of his 48 buckets. Ball himself made five threes in the Pelicans’ biggest win with Williamson thus far, a victory over Memphis that took them to 2-0 in the head-to-head series with the team currently sitting in eighth place.”
