6 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans center Jahlil Okafor got the start against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night after it was determined Anthony Davis (illness) was unable to give it a go. Apparently, there was a virus going around the Pelicans locker room, but the team did not any of this at the shootaround or during the pre-game media session. Okafor is making his third start of the season, although he has produced just 7.5 points and four boards on 46.7 percent shooting in his first two starts. Expect Julius Randle and Jrue Holiday to have monster games.--Daniel Benjamin
