The New Orleans Pelicans are hosting the Atlanta Hawks and the plan — as it’s been for several weeks now — is to get a solid look at the young players on the roster. In particular, head coach Alvin Gentry said we should expect for Christian Wood to see an increase in minutes. Against the Houston Rockets, Wood scored seven points in eight minutes and left fans thirsting for more.
As for Anthony Davis, he will not play tonight because of continuing back issues.
