Game 72: Raptors at Pelicans

Another tough loss to get over as the Raptors head into New Orleans, Louisiana to face the Pelicans. Hopefully they'll be able to get the win and salvage something from this 3 game road trip

• Terrence Ross missed last night's game with a sore thumb and is likely sitting again tonight. Lowry and Patterson are back, though Kyle had a rough night and got ejected on his own birthday in yesterday's game against Houston.
• The Pelicans are a hot mess right now. Their superstar center Anthony Davis is done for the year with a shoulder injury. Ryan Anderson, Quincy Pondexter, Tyreke Evans and Eric Gordon are all out with various injuries
• Norris Cole and Jrue Holiday are both game time decisions and even Bryce Dejean Jones is out for the season! Where does that leave New Orleans? Well they still have Omer Asik, Raptor-killer Alexis Ajencia and Shaqtin'-a-fool MVP Kendrick Perkins.

Tonight's Raptor Track!

Mel McDaniel - "Lousiana Saturday Night"

This song fits the game perfectly. Written back in 1981 it's been covered by and misattributed to countless artists since it's release.

Raptors 2nd in the East 48-23! Pelicans 12th in the West  26-45!
