Pelicans and Warriors Face Off Out West
The New Orleans Pelicans take on the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center on Sunday night.

The Pelicans (24-32) have been showing marked signs of improvement of late, and they'll come into Sunday's contest having won four of the last five games. Their most recent success came Friday night, when they toppled the Portland Trail Blazers by a 128-115 score. Zion Williamson led the way for the Pelicans with 25 points, complementing them with four rebounds, three assists and one steal. Jrue Holiday totaled 20 points, nine assists, two rebounds and four steals. Brandon Ingram turned in 16 points, six assists and four rebounds. Lonzo Ball provided 15 points, seven assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block. Josh Hart and Nicolo Melli posted 13 points apiece, with Hart also recording 13 rebounds.

The Pelicans will remain without Kenrich Williams (back) for Sunday's game.

The Warriors (12-44) come into Sunday's game in the midst of another one of their multi-game skids, as they've dropped five consecutive games. Their most recent debacle came versus the Houston Rockets, which throttled them by a 135-105 score Thursday night. Andrew Wiggins paced the Warriors with 22 points, supplementing them with three rebounds, two blocks and one steal. Jordan Poole poured in 19 points, adding four boards, two assists and one steal. Damion Lee furnished 13 points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals. Eric Paschall managed 12 points, six rebounds, two assists and one block. Marquese Chriss and Juan Toscano-Anderson delivered 10 points each while pulling down five and six rebounds, respectively.

The Warriors will be without Draymond Green (pelvis), Stephen Curry (hand) and Klay Thompson (knee) for Sunday's game. Chriss (calf) will be listed as questionable.

Sunday's game marks the fourth and final meeting between the teams this season. The Warriors hold a 2-1 series lead, having notched 134-123 and 106-102 victories Oct. 28 and Dec. 20, respectively.
