The Cavs have not been to the postseason since they had LeBron James and made the NBA Finals in 2018. 

This season they have been one of the best surprises in the entire NBA with a 20-13 record, and the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference (only 3.5 games behind the Brooklyn Nets for the top seed).

As for the Pelicans, they come into the game with a 12-24 record in 36 games, and do not appear as if they will be a contender to make the playoffs this season.
