In the first game we have for 2022, the Pelicans head into a matchup with the 24 win Milwaukee Bucks. We are 5-1 over our last 6 games, despite missing a lot of key players, but we've also had a fairly soft schedule during that time and many of these wins have been scraping by. That doesn't change the win column, of course, a win is a win, but when you compare it to the Bucks - who are 11-5 since December 1st, including blowout wins over Miami and Cleveland - it does mean we probably shouldn't get too ahead of ourselves.
That said, any game can be won on the night, or lost on the night. Let's see how the Pelicans start 2022.
Happy New Year.
