Luke Babbitt in starting five for Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Luke Babbitt will enter the starting lineup on Monday versus the Chicago Bulls.

What It Means:

Alexis Ajinca (shoulder) is out, so Babbitt will join Toney Douglas, James Ennis, Dante Cunningham and Omer Asik in the first unit. Babbitt is averaging 17.0 points, 5.8 boards, 3.4 assists and 2.0 3-pointers over his last five games.

Our models project Babbitt to put up 13.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.9 3-pointers tonight against the Bulls. His -0.7 nERD ranks 82nd in the league.
