3 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans point guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker draws the start in his team's opening game of the season against the 76ers. Alexander-Walker steps into quite the opportunity with Lonzo Ball now in Chicago- and should be expected to handle the point guard duties for the Pelicans- with Devonte' Graham playing off the ball. It could be a lucrative opportunity for Alexander-Walker, who has averaged 19.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game in his career as a starter. Look for him to get off to a good start in what could be a high-scoring game against Philadelphia.--Tim Capurso
