The New Orleans Pelicans lost their win streak their last time out, but now has a great chance to start a new one as they take on a hapless Los Angeles Clippers team that has lost seven straight games. 

The Pelicans do need to come ready to compete, though. The Clippers have made some games interesting and have had a tough schedule to open the year. New Orleans could certainly drop this game if they are not careful.

Jamahl Mosley and this Pelicans team have to figure out something with this starting lineup. The results of that unit have been poor and aren't really showing signs of growth.

Here is a quick rundown of important information to know before the game tips off:

Can Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy show consistent aggressiveness?

One of the main worries with the starting unit over these past two games is how Williamson and Murphy are completely taken out of the offense for stretches at a time. When they are able to get aggressive and get shots off, the team looks far better. Some of it has been teams selling out to slow them down, but they have to be able to adjust and get their two best offensive talents the ball more often.
