Assist Leaders: Elfrid Payton, 21; Tyrese Haliburton, 13
My Player of the Game: Elfrid Payton
Takeaways
- Elfrid Payton has been so CLUTCH for the Pelicans while dealing with so many injuries. With his 21 assists against the Pacers, he has had the most assists in a single NBA game this season.
- Even though the Pelicans lost this game by four and Friday's game against the Warriors by four points, the team is showing so much fight considering they're still without Dejounte Murray, Herb Jones, Jose' Alvarado and Zion Williamson.
- Rookie Yves Missi is a HIGHLIGHT for this Pelicans team right now. He is quick, plays smooth defense, and continually is getting better on offense.
- Trey Murphy III lit it up on the offensive end for the Pelicans, which is a great sign.
- Brandon Ingram is dealing with a minor calf injury so although he's playing, he's not 100%.
