Underdog NBA: "Klay Thompson (injury management) listed out Monday."
Thompson is averaging 17.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest on 38.8% shooting from the field and 37.7% shooting from the three-point range.
He's gotten off to a slow start to the year, but after the big game against the Rockets, it would be no surprise to see him get on a hot streak.
The Warriors enter the night with an 8-9 record in their first 17 games, but they are in the middle of a two-game winning streak after beating the New York Knicks and Rockets.
They are the 11th seed in the Western Conference, but they are only 3.5 games behind the Utah Jazz who are the first seed.
As for the Pelicans, they come into the game with a 9-7 record in their first 16 games, which has them tied with the Dallas Mavericks for the eighth seed in the west.
