Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Dwane Casey said Jonas Valanciunas is playing like an All-Star right now. “It’s going to be a handful for all of our bigs, because Jonas is playing with so much confidence right now.” – 6:36 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Dwane Casey on Frank Jackson, who has been hot from 3 lately and is third on the team in 2-point percentage, and his potential: “He’s a sparkplug off the bench. I always liked him when he was (in New Orleans). His defense is overlooked. I think he’s a pest. He’s persistent.” – 6:33 PM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Pelicans head coach (and Detroit native) Willie Green on Cade Cunningham: “Dynamic at attacking the basket. He’s been getting better the more he’s playing … he’s got just a grown-man game. He’s fun to watch.” – 6:21 PM

Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Willie Green says that Tomas Satoransky is going to initially soak up Kira Lewis’ minutes in pregame. – 6:19 PM
