NBA Preview: Jameer Nelson to play in New Orleans Pelicans matchup against Los Angeles Lakers

The new look New Orleans Pelicans roll into Hollywood tonight looking for their first win over a very young Los Angeles Lakers team. The Lakers (1-1) enter the game coming off their first win against the Phoenix Suns, where Lonzo Ball stole the show with a line of 29 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists.

After two tough losses to the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors, the Pelicans have their best chance yet to notch their first win of the season. In addition to the Lakers being the fourth youngest in the association — and the easiest opponent to date, recent free agent acquisition Jameer Nelson is expected to to be in the rotation.
