Takeaways
- The Pelicans are 5-0 with the starting lineup of Dyson Daniels, Herb Jones, Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson and Jonas Valanciunas.
- Ball movement was key, once again, for the Pelicans who recorded 26 assists in the win
- The BI and Zion duo are becoming the problem we all thought they could be
- Pels are clicking on all cylinders right now and yet they haven't peaked as they're still without CJ and Trey Murphy

Yay ! * Jordan Poole was back tonight and he made a world of difference. His three-point shooting, confidence, and leadership were a ton of help. * Derik Queen is a problem for all other 29 teams in this league. This kid has a vision that hasn't been seen in any recent rookies, especially for a center. * Bryce McGowens was the second-leading scorer in this game with 23 points. He's stepped up in a big way. * In surprising news, Zion Williamson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in what seems like years that Zion's health is actually improving much sooner than projected. Whether this is a sign of Zion pushing himself or James Borrego pushing him, it's nice to see. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
