With Jrue Holiday and Quincy Pondexter limited to start the season, Tyreke Evans and Dante Cunningham are poised to fill their voids in the starting lineup.
At a function sponsored by the 3 Point Club of New Orleans this past Thursday, Alvin Gentry revealed several important details that seemingly have determined what the starting lineup will look like against the Golden State Warriors on October 27, 2015, the opening night of the 2016 NBA regular season.
First, with the announcement that Jrue Holiday will be under a severe minutes restriction for at least several months, Tyreke Evans should be the Pelicans opening day starter at point guard.
