Big break for the C's as Eric Gordon (aka far and away the best player on New Orleans) is out with a knee injury, per @SherrodBCSN.
The Celts are missing Pierce and Wilcox, and you'd have to think KG will be in limited action this early in the year.
Without Gordon's scoring punch, look for a sloppy game as the Hornets should be a little direction-less. Look for Rondo to take advantage on defense and get in passing lanes.
