Raptors vs. Pelicans preview

The Raptors are hoping to bounce back after a loss against the Houston Rockets last night in the Lone Star State. The Raptors managed to score just 99 points, which is the first time they've been at double digits since Feb. 11 when they fell to the first place Detroit Pistons.

Meanwhile, the Pelicans are fresh off of a 20-point victory against the Washington Wizards three days ago, giving them a lot of rest going into the game. Unlike other rebuilding teams in the league, the Pelicans have won six of their last nine and have beaten some decent opponents during that stretch, including the Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors, both of whom are in the playoff picture in their respective conferences.

It could be an easy game for the Raptors who have played exceptionally well against teams that are lower than them in the hierarchy of the NBA. However, the Raptors can't afford to not take this game seriously.

For the first time in weeks, the Raptors have their No. 5 spot in the Eastern Conference standings at risk with the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic both within a game of them. The Raptors need to take care of business and pull out a win so that they can move forward and gain back some ground in the Eastern Conference.
