Game 49: Pelicans at Raptors!

It's official the Raptors have lost 2nd place to the Celtics. To get it back they're going to need some big games, and get some big W's. Like tonight when we get our first glimpse of the New Orleans Pelicans

• This is the first time in a while where the Raptors play the Pelicans and Anthony Davis is actually healthy. Jonas and Bebe will definitely have their hands full guarding the big All-Star. At least this means that Alexis Ajinca might not have a big game against us.
• Easy come easy go. DeRozan came back for a game against the Magic but struggled. So it appears he'll be sitting for 2 more games. Hope he gets healthy soon and this ankle injury doesn't linger
• Pelicans will be without Tyreke Evans, former rookie of the year, looks like he'll be sitting for a night of rest instead and Quincy Pondexter is also out for New Orleans

Tonight's Raptor Track!

The Maccabees - "Pelican"

Formed in London, UK in 2004 The Maccabees have 4 studio albums to date. They went with one of my ace tips for picking a band name. Open the Bible to a random page and pick a word from that. If you're a metal band you can also use the Monstrous Manual from Dungeons & Dragons if you want. The song "Pelican" comes from their 3rd album Given To The Wild.

Raptors 3rd in the East 29-19! Pelicans 11th in West 19-29!
