New Orleans Pelicans
2025-26 regular-season standings
New Orleans Pelicans finished 26–56 in the 2025–26 regular season, 11th in the Western Conference.
They scored 115.5 a game, 16th of 30, against a league average of 115.6. At the other end they conceded 120.0 — 24th best in the league, where the average team gives up 115.6.
That leaves a net rating of -4.5 per game, 21st in the league. Net rating is the closest thing basketball has to a single honest number for how good a team is — it survives pace, schedule and garbage time better than a win-loss record does.
The home-road split is pronounced: 17–24 at home against 9–32 away. That gap is worth real points when the venue changes.
Every axis is a percentile against the other 29 teams, computed at page load from the 2025–26 regular season only — preseason and playoffs are excluded so the record, the rates and the ratings all describe the same games. Pace, true shooting and rebound rate are not shown because this site does not yet store possession data, and a grade with nothing behind it is worth less than none.
Season averages aren't available for this team right now.
