While the actual tip to both the New Orleans Pelicans’ and NBA’s season is still three calendar weeks away, tonight is a good way to gauge how Alvin Gentry will use his roster during the 2019-2020 season.
Tonight, the Pels will travel to play the Atlanta Hawks in their first preseason tilt of 2019, with the game set for a 7:30 p.m. CT tip-off.
Not unlike the Pelicans, the Hawks are in the midst of an overhaul of their roster, but their process is two years along with exciting results. The Hawks are just an extra year into significant changes, but it’s something that the Pelicans fans can look to for something that’s working.
