Lineup of the Week:
Holiday-Redick-Hart-Williams-Favors

Minutes – 17
Off. Rating – 102.7
Def. Rating – 83.3
Net Rating – 19.4

The Pelicans had two different lineups that played in 17 minutes over the course of the week with the above lineup being the only one of the two to feature in two games. On Monday, it’s the lineup that started with Josh Hart stepping in to replace Ingram.

Hart has been a jack of all trades from the Pelicans this season. Redick’s improved play over the week helped bolster the lineup offensively but its the defense that set this group apart.

The defense has been a struggle all season and the team still sits 29th. Obviously, this lineup is a very small sample size but it’s a window into how the team will have to turn things around this season with the changes needing to come on the defensive end, not the offensive.
