Offensive Surge Leads Pels to Victory

Five New Orleans Pelicans players finished in double-digit points in the team’s 132-112 win over the Washington Wizards.


Even without Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson, the deep Pelicans squad keeps showing up, continually proving why they are one of the deepest benches in the league.


CJ McCollum ended the game with 34 points, Jonas Valanciunas had 27 point, Naji Marshall scored 18, Davonte’ Graham had 11 point, and Jose Alvarado finished the game with 10 points.


When the Pelicans have guys who usually play off the bench scoring in double figures, you know the league is watching and knowing they need to be prepared for what’s coming. It’s also nice to see guys stepping up when players like Herb Jones and Trey Murphy are in a slump.



New Orleans is now 25-16 with a tough game ahead of them Wednesday, Jan. 11 at Boston at 6:30 PM. The Celtics are 29-12 on the season and in first place of the Eastern Conference.
