The New Orleans Pelicans were the new kids on the block in the 2015 postseason, but sneaking into the playoffs and having an MVP candidate in Anthony Davis is not enough to strike fear into the defending champion Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n

The Warriors have won 14 of the last 15 against Davis and the Pelicans and the teams will open their seasons in the second game of a double-header on TNT.<\/p>\n

The Warriors simply have a lot of weapons.\u00a0 Curry finished No. 6 in the NBA in scoring last year with 23.8 points per game, and he knocked down 44.3 percent from behind the arc.\u00a0 2-guard Klay Thompson was good for 43.9 percent, and the duo was the league\u2019s highest scoring backcourt.<\/p>\n

The tandem is nearly unstoppable when both Curry and Thompson are feeling it, and most can harken back to Thompson\u2019s 37-point quarter for proof that the \u201cSplash Brothers\u201d are a pair of gunners that cannot be taken lightly.<\/p>\n

Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry comes from the Warriors staff, and he was last head coach in Phoenix from 2009 to 2013.\u00a0 The Warriors will have Luke Walton coaching this game as Steve Kerr rests a surgically repaired back.\u00a0 Walton said of the opportunity, \u201cIt\u2019s going to be awesome.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s great he (Gentry) going to be out there when we get our rings\u2026it\u2019s always fun battling friends and people that you know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Live NBA Odds!<\/a><\/p>\n

Gentry will have the league\u2019s premier postman in Davis.\u00a0 Davis finished No. 4 in the league in scoring last year at 24.4 points per game.\u00a0 He led the league in blocked shots with 2.9 per game and his defense alone can transform a game.\u00a0 Davis is capable of closing gaps and covering an immense amount of space.\u00a0 But can he cover the Pelicans injuries?<\/p>\n

Tyreke Evans is out, and Jrue Holiday has minutes restrictions.\u00a0 But if the Pelicans are to keep this game close, Holiday is going to have to play decent minutes.\u00a0 He is said to be limited to 20, and his surgically repaired legs \u201cfeels fine\u201d according to Holiday.<\/p>\n

However, he has played just 74 games the past two seasons, so the Pelicans will need to exercise caution to avoid putting him back on the shelf.\u00a0 He is the No. 2 option when healthy, but the Pelicans will rely on Eric Gordon for a lot of the ball handling in the interim.<\/p>\n

Evans, too, will shoulder that load but he is out for the next six-to-eight weeks recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.\u00a0 Norris Cole is battling an ankle injury, too, so the Pelicans are really going to have a lot of trouble with the point guard position until Holiday is back fully healthy.\u00a0 Given that Evans typically helped with that last year while Holiday was out, the Pelicans will need to find a new strategy.<\/p>\n

Going against the best backcourt in the NBA will hardly do it any favors.<\/p>\n
