5)      On Western Conference Wednesday, the Pelicans are in the midst of a stretch of 11 straight games against their own conference, off to a 2-0 start with wins over Golden State and Portland. New Orleans is currently 2.5 games behind eighth-place Phoenix (7-6), with a Thursday matchup on the slate, broadcast nationally by TNT and locally by Fox Sports New Orleans. New Orleans is actually tied for 10th in the West with three other teams that are exactly 5-9, including Memphis, Oklahoma City and San Antonio. The Pelicans have only played the Thunder among that trio (a loss on Nov. 2), but have Nov. 29 and Dec. 1 meetings with OKC. Scanning further up the ladder, fifth-place Dallas (8-5) is just 3.5 games in front of NOLA.
