New Orleans finally is home for the first time since Feb. 10 and the Pelicans need to take advantage of home court advantage as they battle to get a play-in spot for the playoffs. Orlando is more looking forward to the lottery and the NBA Draft and the Magic haven't covered their past three games, including 121-108 against Indiana on Saturday when they shot only 38.9 percent and the game before the Magic shot 41.1 percent versus Detroit, but pulled out a win over the lowly Pistons. The Pelicans look to avenge a 123-110 loss in the only meeting this season when they were outscored 35-19 in the fourth period. This is an important game for New Orleans as it has to go back on the road for three more games after this one. Play the Pelicans.
