Home, home at last, but with a reunion of sorts.
The New Orleans Pelicans will kick off a six-game home stand tonight after playing eight of their first 11 games on the road, welcoming the Portland Trail Blazers in what should prove to be an emotional game for players on both rosters.
For the first time since the big pre-deadline trade, CJ McCollum is expected to square off against his former backcourt running mate. He and Damian Lillard spent nine seasons together in Portland so Thursday will be a weird situation for both guards.
