Karlo Matkovic led the way with a season-high 19 points and eight assists, while Antonio Reeves knocked down five three-pointers en route to 17 points.
Rookie Yves Missi added 16 points and nine rebounds, and Kelly Olynyk contributed 14 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists for New Orleans (20-53).
Zion Williamson missed his third straight game due to a back injury, while CJ McCollum sat out after scoring 40 points in a loss to Detroit.
Despite missing key players Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey, the 76ers (23-49) stayed competitive behind Justin Edwards and Jared Butler, who each scored 19 points.
Philadelphia briefly erased a nine-point halftime deficit with hot three-point shooting in the third quarter, but New Orleans responded with a 16-2 run to take control.
The Pelicans shot 43% (15-for-35) from beyond the arc, including an 8-for-11 stretch in the third that helped build a 15-point lead entering the fourth.
Philadelphia, which wrapped up a six-game road trip with a 1-5 record, has now lost eight of its last nine games.
New Orleans snapped a two-game losing streak but has won just twice in its last seven contests.
With both teams missing key stars, depth players stepped up, as Keion Brooks Jr. added 10 points for the Pelicans, while Jeff Dowtin Jr., Guerschon Yabusele, and Chuma Okeke each scored 12 for Philadelphia.
