Result: Loss
Golden State at New Orleans 7:35 ET
Pelicans (+) over Warriors- The first rematch of the season take place already as the New Orleans Pelicans host their opening night foe and World Champion Golden State Warriors. The Warriors (2-0) won the opener at home 110-95 and followed that with a 112-92 win at Houston last night while the Pelicans (0-2) have yet to post a victory. Part of the problem for last last's playoff Pelicans is adjusting to new coach Alvin Gentry's offense but five injured players doesn't help. Still, New Orleans has Anthony Davis and he looks to respond from his worst career start in the opener where he was 4-for-20 from the field. Take NEW ORLEANS!
