The New Orleans Pelicans (0-4) are down to their last chance to notch a preseason victory, but tonight will mark their first opportunity to play within the friendly confines of the Smoothie King Center when they host the Toronto Raptors (3-1). Local tip-off time is set for 7:00 p.m. Central.
Up to this point, the Pelicans have looked more jagged during exhibition action than one would have hoped. New Orleans fell behind early in their 140-128 loss to the Miami Heat last night, and they never managed to threaten for the lead.
