Tyreke Evans: Expected to play Tuesday

Evans (knee) is expected to play Tuesday against the Timberwolves, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Analysis:

Prior to Monday's absence, Evans logged just 34 minutes combined in the previous two games due to tendinitis in his right knee, meaning he's unlikely to take on his usual load of 32 minutes per night. Nevertheless, expect Evans hold down his usual spot in the starting five at point guard.
