Pelicans-Grizzlies Preview

New Orleans seeks a sixth victory in seven tries when it visits the slumping Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. The Pelicans (42-35) took control of the Western Conference's final playoff spot with Tuesday's 103-100 win over NBA-best Golden State and Oklahoma City's 113-88 loss to San Antonio not long after. New Orleans holds a one-half game lead along with the tiebreaker over the Thunder, who have lost four straight and don't play again until Friday against Sacramento. Davis scored 23 of his 29 points in the second half as the Pelicans beat the Warriors in a potential first-round preview.
