Heat Check 2020-21: New Orleans Pelicans

Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson, the two building blocks at the center of this New Orleans Pelicans squad, have wasted no time producing so far this season but the rest of the squad around them is still adjusting to the new campaign.

Expect more out of J.J. Redick and Eric Bledsoe as the year progresses, two scoring options that the Pels will rely on if they hope to sneak into the Western Conference playoff picture.
