New Orleans’ point guard position was in flux this weekend, because after appearing in each of the season’s first 16 games, starter Devonte’ Graham (left foot soreness) was sidelined vs. the Clippers and Indiana. Graham is listed as questionable for Monday’s home contest vs. Minnesota, meaning there again may be ample opportunity for Tomas Satoransky and second-year pro Kira Lewis Jr., who split PG playing time nearly evenly in the back-to-back.
Lewis (28 total points, three steals in 49:26) provided his top two-game production of 2021-22, notching a season-high 16 points against LA, then adding a dozen points in Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
