BREAKING: Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett, Herb Jones Status For Raptors-Pelicans, 2/5
New Orleans (28-21, 7th in Western Conference) is back home getting ready to host an exhausted Toronto Raptors (17-32, 12th in Eastern Conference) team coming off a double-overtime 135-127 loss to OKC this past Sunday.
Pelicans starters Zion Williamson, Herb Jones, and swingman Larry Nance Jr. remain "Questionable" for tonight's contest at the Smoothie King Center.
The Raptor's leading scorer, R.J. Barrett, is "Out" of the match due to a tender left knee under "injury management" by the team's medical staff. Jontay Porter will also miss with lower back spasms.
New Orleans is a heavy favorite by SI Sportsbook, with an 81.4% probability of winning. Vegas has the team with an 11.5-point spread.
