Chrissy's Takeaways:
* The New Orleans Pelicans have won four of their last five games and their only loss came against the Boston Celtics by one point.
* If you were hoping for the Pelicans to tank to get a high draft pick, then you are are going to be disappointed.
* Zion has to be at his lowest weight in years. He looks great and was explosive the whole night.
* Yves Missi did not play because he was sick with the flu, according to Joel Myers.
* This team can keep going on a run with so many guys healthy, and Brandon Ingram is close to returning too. That will leave Herb Jones as the only main player who is still hurt.
