Following his absence in Tuesday's road matchup against the Sacramento Kings, Pelicans' starting center Jonas Valanciunas is once again listed as questionable to play Thursday due to right ankle soreness vs Portland (7 p.m. Central, Bally Sports, 100.3 FM). The Pelicans clinched a spot in the Play-In tournament following Tuesday's win and will play the San Antonio Spurs for a chance to advance in the postseason on April 12 or 13. The host city has yet to be determined as the teams head into their final three games - currently New Orleans holds a one-game advantage over San Antonio for the #9 slot.
