Every game is an important one for the New Orleans Pelicans down the stretch of the NBA regular season. At 27-37, they are holding onto the last spot in the NBA Play-In Tournament in the Western Conference. They are two games clear of the 11th place Portland Trail Blazers.
Looking to bounce back after blowing a fourth-quarter lead over the weekend against the Denver Nuggets, the Pelicans will have their hands full tonight vs the Memphis Grizzlies. Unfortunately, they may be short-handed in the game as well.
Brandon Ingram was not listed on the NBA’s official injury report this morning, but the New Orleans Pelicans recently announced that he was questionable for the game vs the Memphis Grizzlies because of right hamstring soreness. He was later ruled out for the game.
Going up against Memphis without Ingram in the lineup would be a tall task for Willie Green’s crew. Ingram has been excellent in three games in March, averaging 33.3 points to go along with seven rebounds and six assists.
