The Pelicans are looking to bounce back against the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight at the Paycom Center for Game 2 of their first-round series.
The Pels come off a 94-92 loss to OKC in Game 1 on Sunday.
Trey Murphy III finished with a team-high 21 points. Jonas Valanciunas chipped in a double-double with 13 points and 20 rebounds.
New Orleans trails Oklahoma City in the series 1-0.
ESPN is reporting that it is realistic to expect that Zion Williamson will return to game action this postseason following a hamstring injury in last week's Play-In game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Williamson, speaking to reporters Tuesday, called the injury "super demoralizing."
The Pelicans will need to extend their first-round series against the Thunder if Williamson is to return this season.
Tipoff at Paycom Center is at 8:30 this evening (News Talk 99.5 WRNO, TNT).
