Pelicans Cup matchups worth watching
The New Orleans Pelicans face Minnesota Timberwolves, Memphis Grizzlies, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Los Angeles Clippers in the Cup games listed above. Here’s what makes those matchups worth a closer look.
Pelicans vs. Timberwolves: Williamson’s power confronts Gobert’s vertical defense
The Pelicans host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Fri, Nov 6 at Smoothie King Center.
Zion Williamson’s force at the rim makes Rudy Gobert’s positioning a central subplot if both are available. Gobert wants to meet the drive without giving up a foul; Williamson wants to get him moving before the finish. Trey Murphy III’s shooting means Minnesota cannot simply pack five defenders into the lane. The balance between rim protection and perimeter recovery is the contest.

The Pelicans host the Memphis Grizzlies on Fri, Nov 13 at Smoothie King Center.
Trey Murphy III’s shooting can pull Memphis’ defense well beyond the lane. Jaylen Wells offers a wing matchup to watch, while Zach Edey’s position behind the perimeter defender determines how aggressively the Grizzlies can contest. New Orleans want the closeout to become a driving lane; Memphis want the catch to lead to a difficult shot rather than a second rotation.

The Pelicans visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Fri, Nov 20 at Paycom Center.
Herbert Jones offers New Orleans a long, disruptive defender for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s patient scoring game. The challenge is to stay balanced through the hesitation rather than chase the first move. Chet Holmgren’s spacing can pull the next defender out of help. Watch how often Oklahoma City create a clean driving lane before their lead guard even begins the attack.

The Pelicans visit the Los Angeles Clippers on Fri, Nov 27 at Intuit Dome.
Herbert Jones’ reach can disrupt a smaller creator, but Darius Garland’s pull-up range makes New Orleans defend high on the floor. A well-timed screen may briefly separate them and force the next defender into a decision. Zion Williamson gives the Pelicans a contrasting route: attacking the lane with power. The Clippers’ interior positioning must survive that shift from perimeter skill to contact at the rim.
