With injuries to Asik and Ajinca, the Pelicans are going to field some atypical lineups tonight against the Atlanta Hawks.
After beating the Indiana Pacers nearly one week ago, the Pelicans will finally play their second preseason game. They will face the Hawks in Jacksonville Friday evening at 6:00 pm central time. Despite the game taking place some 500 miles away, the schedule makers list New Orleans as the home team.
It is important to note that the Pelicans are making their third straight appearance at this Florida venue during the NBA preseason.
