New Orleans Pelicans 2026 season recap
Longest run of overs: 4 · longest run of unders: 5
Season at a glance
Five straight games went under the market total in the middle of the Pelicans' season, their longest run in either direction during a year marked by offensive and defensive struggle. New Orleans finished 25-55, with a 33-30 over/under split across 63 games that carried a market line. The combined total averaged 235.6 points across all 80 games, ranging from a low of 197 to a high of 293—a 96-point spread. Scoring consistency remained elusive: the standard deviation of 20.7 reflected a team caught between blowouts and competitive contests, with 52.4 percent of graded games clearing the total.
Scoring and totals profile
Games involving New Orleans produced an average combined total of 235.6 points, with the lowest-scoring contest hitting 197 on February 2 against Charlotte and the highest reaching 293 on April 7 against Utah. The 96-point gap between extremes underscored a season of volatile pace and efficiency. Over performances dominated the longest streaks: four straight games went over, while five consecutive games went under marked the longest downside run. The 33-30 over/under record left the season fractionally favoring overs at 52.4 percent of the 63 graded games. The biggest deviation came on December 2 against Minnesota, when the combined total soared 61.5 points above the set line, while January 25 at San Antonio produced the inverse, finishing 40.5 beneath the total.
Home and road splits
The Pelicans won 16 of 39 home games and 9 of 41 on the road, illustrating a sharp gap in performance across venues. At home, the over/under split ran 17-13 favoring overs, while road games produced a 16-17 record favoring unders. The average combined total at home reached 237.8 points, exceeding the road average of 233.4 by 4.4 points. Home contests thus played slightly higher-scoring on average, though neither environment escaped the season's overall volatility. The road record of 9-32 represented a particularly punishing stretch, suggesting that travel and opposing arenas created additional difficulty beyond what home court advantage might offset.
| Split | Games | Record | O/U | Avg total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home | 39 | 16-23 | 17-13 | 237.8 |
| Road | 41 | 9-32 | 16-17 | 233.4 |
How the season unfolded
October brought five games with no market totals, all losses, setting a grim tone at 0-5. November saw minimal over activity—just 3-1 to the over across 16 games—with a 233.8 average combined total that reflected sluggish play. December reversed the trend sharply: combined totals climbed to 247.6 average, the highest of any month, and the over/under split tilted heavily toward overs at 9-4, though the record stood 5-8. January flattened both scoring (228.0 average) and results, with an even 5-11 over/under split across 16 games. February brought unexpected success: the Pelicans went 6-4 with a 234.0 average combined total and a balanced 5-5 over/under split. March returned to struggle at 5-9, though scoring climbed slightly to 232.3. April's final six games averaged 247.8 points with a 3-3 over/under split, yet the record fell to 1-5, highlighting New Orleans' difficulty converting high-volume contests into wins.
