Brian Roberts got going in the Pelicans' 101-95 loss to the Spurs on Monday, scoring 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting (including three treys) with four rebounds and four assists.
Ask the locals about Roberts and they might send you to clean trash on Bourbon Street after Fat Tuesday, but the Pellies are stuck with him and he's going to be in most lineups while Jrue Holiday is out. In his last five games he is averaging 11.2 points, 1.2 threes, 3.4 boards, 3.4 assists and just 0.8 combined steals and blocks, while hitting 42.2 percent from the field and 85.7 percent from the line in 25.4 minutes per contest. Look for him to play about 28-34 minutes per game until Holiday and Evans get back.
