It’s been a tough road trip for New Orleans so far, but the Pelicans have a chance to post an important victory Tuesday, when they visit Southwest Division counterpart Memphis (6:30 p.m., Fox Sports New Orleans, TNT, 100.3 FM). Josh Hart is the lone Pelicans player listed on this afternoon’s official injury list; he is probable with low back spasms.
Memphis played without multiple members of its projected 2020-21 rotation in its Sunday game, including rookie wing Desmond Bane (personal reasons), Jaren Jackson (knee), DeAnthony Melton (shoulder) and Justise Winslow (hip). Brandon Clarke (calf) was listed as questionable, but played against Sacramento.
