The Pelicans had 23 fast-break points Monday. In their previous two games, they had a combined 11. Their turnover issues, coupled Williamson’s short stints on the floor, have made them look out of sorts on the offensive end. Through three games of the NBA’s restart, they are averaging 102.3 points per 100 possessions, the second-lowest mark of any team inside the bubble.

"I think the one thing we have to do is that we have to get more initial ball movement,” Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said. “I think sometimes we're trying to attack too early, and I think the thing that our offense has been really good at — and especially after Christmas — was our ball movement and our assists. When our assists are up, and usually when we get 30 assists, we win the majority of those games. I think we've just got to get the ball moving initially and not try to attack right away unless we have numbers. I think when we do that, then we create better shots for ourselves.”
