Larry Nance Jr. will not take the court for the Pelicans’ Saturday game due to illness, leaving a gap in the lineup. With Nance sidelined, expect Najee Marshall to step in and fill the void off the bench, especially against Portland’s defense.
Naji Marshall has proven himself in previous games, putting up solid statistics on average in minutes played. Trey Murphy will also have an increased role in place of the injured Herb Jones. Keep an eye on the Pelicans as they go through these lineup changes and strive for victory
