The trade deadline has come and gone without a major shakeup to the Pelicans roster, so it will essentially be the same Pelicans roster facing the Nuggets that defeated Denver last Sunday 113-108.
Lonzo Ball, who missed that contest, is still questionable with a right hip flexor strain.
The Nuggets, on the other hand, could look much different after acquiring Aaron Gordon from the Orlando Magic in exchange for reserves Gary Harris, RJ Hampton, and a first-round pick.
For a time, Gordon was coveted by Pelicans fans for precisely the reasons Denver does. He brings size, athleticism, versatility, and a solid three-point stroke.
