The Brooklyn Nets play host to the New Orleans Pelicans at Barclays Center on Wednesday evening.

This marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Pelicans (22-28), as they are coming off a rough loss in Atlanta on Tuesday night. Despite the fact that they got out to a good start in the contest with a, 29-25, lead after one quarter, they fell behind in the third quarter and trailed 17, heading into the final frame. They could not make their way back in the fourth, as they fell for their third loss in the last four games. Zion Williamson led the Pelicans with 34 points on 12-of-18 shooting, five rebounds, two assists and a steal, in his first game back after a three-game absence. Lonzo Ball also played well, in what marked his second game back from injury, as he totaled 12 points, 11 assists, nine rebounds, three steals and two blocks. Unfortunately, the Pelicans are still facing some injury trouble, as Brandon Ingram (toe) is questionable for action, and Josh Hart (thumb) will remain out. This marks the third and final game of a road trip for the Pelicans, as they look to get back on track and add to their, 8-15, road record.

Meanwhile, the Nets (35-16) have won seven of their last 10 games, including their last contest. They will look to keep rolling and add to their, 21-6, home record, as they face the second game of a three-game home stand. The Nets also are dealing with some injury trouble, as James Harden (hamstring) will be out, while Kevin Durant (hamstring), who has missed the last three weeks of action, is set to make his return to the lineup. Kyrie Irving has been playing well lately, averaging 29.7 points, 7.9 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals, over his last seven games, including a 40-point performance in the Nets' most recent contest. The Nets are averaging 118.6 points per game, which is second most in the league, and they are shooting a league-best 49.3 percent from the field.
