Analysis:

With Omer Asik sitting out due to a stomach virus, the Pelicans will turn to Cunningham, who's set to make his fifth start of the year. The sixth-year pro out of Villanova has averaged 23 minutes per game so far this season, but should see that number increase with a plethora of injuries derailing the Pelicans' roster. Cunningham could also be in line to start Wednesday's outing as well if Asik isn't fully recovered.
