Saddiq Bey’s comeback story a pleasant surprise for #Pelicans and himself nola.com/sports/pelican…

Seven straight home wins for Pelicans after tonight's 105-99 victory over Clippers. Pels are 10-4 over last 14 games. Trey Murphy leads the way with 27 points. Saddiq Bey 20 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists Zion Williamson: 15 points, 5 rebounds Yves Missi: 11 points, 11 rebounds

Yves Missi with a double double. His fourth of the season.

#Pelicans lead Clippers 55-52 at halftime. Trey Murphy with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting.

When it comes to the opening round of March Madness, which day do you enjoy the most?

Obviously his health is the most important thing, but Cunningham has played in 61 games. He’s been a sure fire first team All-NBA player all season, despite now perhaps not reaching the 65 game requirement.

Just in: Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham has been diagnosed with a collapsed lung and is expected to miss an extended period of time, sources tell ESPN.

Dejounte Murray on if he had been with team the whole season: “I think we could’ve been pretty damn good.”

#Pelicans , as a team, shot 53% from floor, 43.2 %from 3 and 95.2 % from free throw line tonight. It’s just the 19th time in team history they’ve done better than 50-40-90.

Pelicans defeat Clippers* 124-109. It’s the sixth straight home win for the Pelicans. The last time they won six straight at home was in the 2022-‘23 season. That team won seven in a row. Pels are 9-4 over last 13 games. Eight of those 9 wins by double digits. (Clippers were trying to win, by the way.)

This has turned into a blowout. #Pelicans rolling.

Crazy finish by Trey Murphy.

Trey Murphy just became the second Pels player all-time to have two seasons with at least 200 3-pointers. He had 202 in the 2022-23 season. CJ McCollum had a franchise-record 239 in 2023-24 and 211 in 2022-23.

#Pelicans leading Clippers 96-85 heading to the fourth.

#Pelicans and Clippers tied 60-60 at halftime. Pels trailed by 18. Trey Murphy with 14. Zion Williamson 10.

Louisville WR Chris Bell, who was widely considered a top-20 pick before suffering an ACL injury in November, is progressing ahead of schedule and is now running and jumping. Teams are intrigued by his unique skill set at 6’2.5”, 225 lbs, and in-game GPS tracked him at low 4.3 speed in full pads. Bell already has visits scheduled with 13 teams (and has completed four) and is expected to be fully cleared by training camp, and chance of being first-round pick is still real.

Dejounte Murray (illness) is AVAILABLE for tonight's game vs. Los Angeles

If things had played out like I thought they would this season, tonight and tomorrow’s #Pelicans games against Clippers would have been Chris Paul’s final games in New Orleans.

Another sign I’m getting old. Covered Tayler Polk when he was a tackling machine at Brandon High & teammates with Gardner Minshew. Now he’s a college defensive coordinator. Meet Tayler Polk, Tulane's popular new DC | Tulane | nola.com nola.com/sports/tulane/…

For those who missed it, Cam Jordan provided an update on his free agency last night. Here's what he told Terron Armstead: nola.com/sports/saints/…
