Norris Cole

Norris Cole a game-time decision for Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans guard Norris Cole (back) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat.

What It Means:

Cole has missed seven straight games with his back issue, and there were no reports after shootaround whether he participated or not. If he suits up tonight, it will mean less minutes for Toney Douglas, and Jrue Holiday will likely not handle the ball as much.

Cole has the 12th worst nERD this season at -6.3 in 45 games played. He's averaging 10.6 points, 3.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game while posting a 46.5 True Shooting Percentage. We currently project Cole to average 10.9 points, 4.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game over the remaining course of the season while shooting just 39.4 percent from the field.
