The New Orleans Pelicans experienced mixed results in recent matchups. On October 28, the team suffered a 104-91 loss to the Denver Nuggets at the Smoothie King Center. Despite a strong second quarter led by Zion Williamson, the Pelicans struggled with offensive consistency and defensive lapses, and the game was further impacted by a first-half ankle injury to Jordan Poole.

By November 5, the Pelicans secured their fourth consecutive victory with a 120-113 overtime win against the Utah Jazz. The game was decided after a video review overturned a potential buzzer-beater by Utah’s Keyonte George. New Orleans relied on a combined 43 second-half points from Zion Williamson and Derik Queen to secure the win.
