Pelicans Face Warriors With Multiple Star Absences

The New Orleans Pelicans travel to Golden State on Monday night for a matchup at the Chase Center with significant injuries affecting both squads. Key players such as Zion Williamson, Trendon Watford, and Yves Missi are listed out for the Pelicans due to rest or injury issues like knee contusions and ankle sprains. On the opposing side, Jimmy Butler III is sidelined with an ACL tear while Moses Moody sits out a patellar tendon problem; Kristaps Porzingis remains unavailable as well. The Warriors enter this contest at 7-3 following their recent victory over Orlando Magic under starting lineup guidance featuring Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Meanwhile, the Pelicans sit at 4-6 based on last week's loss to Los Angeles Clippers with Trey Murphy III expected to lead off alongside Zion Williamson in a potential start.
