One last chance. One last push. One last march to try to make the playoffs.
That’s what is on the minds of the New Orleans Pelicans, as they get ready for their first of nine final games of the season. Anthony Davis is back in form while Jrue Holiday and Ryan Anderson continue to progress from their injuries to try to return in the coming week or so. It seems simple enough for the 14 players who are part of the New Orleans Pelicans, however there are a few players who are playing for a little bit more than just a playoff push.
Whether it’s a big free agency pay check, a permanent role in the starting lineup, another chance to shine or just to keep the job, there’s still a lot the Pelicans are fighting for in the final games of the season.
