Another decent but not really good team. NO playing without McCullom, but rookie Hawkins had great stats without him. NO is a strangely constructed team with two bruisers and not much of shooting. If NO plays Jones next to Zion and Valanciunas, the opponent can basically just pack the paint. Even Ingram was horrible from three so far this season and Daniels is not much of a shooter. NO is dealing with a lot of injuries - McCollum, Alvarado, Murphy, Marshall, also Jones didn't play last two games.
NO defense is questionable especially if Jones is out. Lots of targets for Luka. It will be interesting to see how Lively handles Jonas and GW against Zion.
