The New Orleans Pelicans stumbled again, falling 104-91 to the Denver Nuggets and extending their winless start to 0-4. Zion Williamson shined with 25 points and standout defense, but persistent rotation woes and key lineup decisions frustrated fans. Herb Jones delivered impactful defense and helped make the game competitive, yet still struggled for playing time despite his obvious value—raising fresh questions about coaching choices.

Trey Murphy failed to attack offensively, settling for just seven three-point attempts, while a lack of synergy between Dejounte Murray and Jeremiah Fears in the backcourt undermined both players’ games. Is it time to split the duo for good? With the Sacramento Kings looming and urgency mounting, can New Orleans escape this early-season spiral or are deeper issues at play?
