According to Alvin Gentry a few minutes ago, Nikola Mirotic will play tonight, but he will come off the bench behind Julius Randle and Anthony Davis. Considering that the New Orleans Pelicans put together one of their most complete performances of the season a few days ago against the Dallas Mavericks, this decision makes a lot of sense.
Thus, for the first time this season, both E’Twaun Moore and Mirotic will join the reserves together. This move should immensely help the shooting efficiency of a bench unit that oftentimes was completely invisible outside of Randle’s production.
