Game 56 Raptors at Pelicans

One win. One loss. The Raptors' road trip continues tonight as they head to the Big Easy to square off against the New Orleans Pelicans.

• Lou Williams, Toronto's sixth man of the year candidate, is questionable for tonight's game after spraining his ankle in Atlanta. He missed Saturday night's game against Houston
• Just like the last time we faced the Pelicans they'll be without their All Star Anthony Davis. He hasn't played the Raptors too much in his NBA career. He injured his shoulder and will be out for a week or so. The Pelicans are also without Jrue Holiday and Ryan Anderson.
• Even though they're missing some key figures, Toronto cannot sleep on the Pelicans. Especially after the last meeting saw Tyreke Evans and former Raptor Alexis Ajinca have fantastic nights against them. The Pelicans sit with a 28-27 record in the tough Western conference which lands them at 10th place.

"Song of the Day"

Pelican - "Ephemeral"

There's something about the word Pelican that just doesn't invoke fear in me. I'm not saying it's a bad name for a team or band, but it just conjures a cute or friendly image when I hear it. Pelican (the band) come from Des Plaines, Illinois and play strictly instrumental metal.  They've been going strong since 2001 so while "Ephermeral" may be a great song of theirs, it's not the right term to define the band.

Game's on TSN! Jack's Back!!!
