This is a small play here on opening night in the NBA.
The Raptors start life without Lenard tonight and he was their goto guy on offense and defense last season.
New Orleans has a veteran HC with Alvin Gentry and some new faces on the team including JJ Reddick, Ingram, Ball and Favors.
This team was 5-0 in the preseason which doesn't mean much but the starters saw a lot of time to try and build some team chemistry.
All I hear is that the Pelicans are without Zion but I like the underdog here tonight with a Nationally televised game.
