Pelicans at Raptors live stream: How to watch online
By Adam Stocker
The Toronto Raptors (6-4) will host the New Orleans Pelicans (6-5) on Thursday night. Here is how to watch this NBA game online.
The Toronto Raptors defeated the Chicago Bulls 119-114 in their last game. On Thursday night, they host the New Orleans Pelicans, who have won three straight games. Canadian fans can watch the game on SN1, while fans in the New Orleans area can watch the game on FSNO. Live streaming is available on NBA League Pass and FuboTV.
Thursday’s game will feature both teams sending their strength against the other teams’ weakness. The Pelicans frontcourt of Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins has been dominant to start the season. The duo is combining for 57.3 points, 26.4 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 4 blocks per game. Toronto will hope that they can slow the duo down with Serge Ibaka and Jonas Valanciunas. The Raptors frontcourt could struggle with the size and speed that the Pelicans possess.
While the Pelicans have a definitive advantage in the frontcourt, Toronto has an advantage in the backcourt. The Raptors will rely on their backcourt of DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry to take advantage of the Pelicans Jrue Holiday and E’Twaun Moore. While Holiday is the only other member of the Pelicans averaging more than 10 points per game, DeRozan is averaging more points than Holiday and Moore combined. In addition to having an advantage at guard, Toronto will have an advantage coming off of the bench. Over the past few season, the Raptors have had one of the better benches in the NBA. Toronto’s second unit could swing the game against a weaker New Orleans bench.

Toronto defeated New Orleans in both games last season, however only one of the games came against the Pelicans after trading for Cousins. In the game against both Cousins and Davis, Davis played only 17 minutes before exiting with an injury.
