Evans (hamstring) will start Thursday's preseason game versus the Thunder.
Analysis:
Evans has been sidelined by a hamstring problem so far this preseason, but will make his exhibition debut Thursday. With Eric Gordon (back) out, Evans is expected to start at shooting guard. However, once the regular season begins, the versatile wing may fill New Orleans' small forward or even sixth man role. As a result, it should be worthwhile to monitor Evans' play and positioning throughout the preseason.
