Game day: Raptors at New Orleans Pelicans

SMOOTHIE KING CENTER

TIPOFF: 8 p.m. TV: Sportsnet One

RADIO: Sportsnet 590 The FAN PROBABLE STARTERS

Toronto: Cory Joseph, DeMar DeRozan, DeMarre Carroll, Serge Ibaka, Jonas Valanciunas

New Orleans: Jrue Holiday, Hollis Thompson, Solomon Hill, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins KEY MATCHUP Ibaka vs. Davis The New Orleans forward is one of the toughest covers in the league because of his offensive versatility, but Ibaka’s ability to protect the rim and move out to guard on the perimeter will be important. NEED TO KNOW Carroll is listed as questionable with a sprained left ankle. P.J. Tucker would likely move into the starting lineup in his place if he can’t go . . . The Pelicans lost Monday in Utah and are fading fast in their chase for the final Western playoff spot. UP NEXT Friday at Atlanta, 8 p.m. Doug Smith
