The New Orleans Pelicans head to Miami losers of their first three preseason contests short-handed and seemingly unenthused.

#Pelicans injury report - 10/10 at MIA:
Out:
Alexis Ajinca (R Quad Strain)

Jahlil Okafor (R ankle sprain)

Anthony Davis (Coach’s Decision)
Jrue Holiday (Coach’s Decision)
Etwaun Moore (Coach’s Decision)

Probable:
Julius Randle (L Low Back/Hip Contusion)— Pelicans PR (@PelicansPR) October 9, 2018

But remember, Head Coach Alvin Gentry’s decision is strategic in nature, as he likely seeks to sit Anthony Davis, Jrue Holiday and E’Twaun Moore with the intention of releasing the triumvirate with the rest of the regular rotation before what hopes to be a raucous crowd Friday night at the Smoothie King Center.
