National television
Despite most of their games coming against sub-.500 foes, the Pelicans have become a big enough attraction that they are a regular on national television. Three of the team’s games – vs. Los Angeles, Memphis and San Antonio – will appear on ESPN while the first game against Utah and the second game against Sacramento will be on TNT.
In total, five of their eight games will be on national television. And if the Pelicans are able to make it to the play-in games, every game from then on out would almost certainly be on national television as well.
