Pelicans' Holiday out vs. Rockets on 2nd night of back-to-back

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

Jrue Holiday (rest) will not play Wednesday against the Houston Rockets.

Analysis:

Holiday will be held out on the second night of a back-to-back set, as has been the case throughout the first month of the season. In his place, the Pelicans are expected to start Ish Smith, with Tyreke Evans joining him in the backcourt. That means Eric Gordon will again come off the bench, as was the case in Tuesday's loss to Memphis.
