The New Orleans Pelicans can't run back their small-ball starting lineup Monday night against the Boston Celtics if they want to win.
Following the New Orleans Pelicans' tough 120-116 overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, it's clear a change is needed in the group's starting five. Due to Yves Missi, Kevon Looney, and Karlo Matkovic all being injured, head coach Willie Green decided to play Zion Williamson at the five.
I didn't hate this call from Green, as I was excited to see Williamson get a chance to run small ball five.
