Holiday is listed as the Pelicans' starting shooting guard for Thursday with Eric Gordon (finger) sidelined, John Reid of the Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

The Pelicans will start two talented ball handlers in the back court Thursday with Holiday starting at shooting guard and Tyreke Evans presumably starting at the point. Thursday will mark the Pelicans first game without Gordon, who is sidelined for 4-to-six weeks, so there could be a feeling out process here while head coach Alvin Gentry figures out his preferred rotation in his absence.
