New Orleans Pelicans basketball kicks off tonight, here’s how to watch.

It’s been over four months since the New Orleans Pelicans have played meaningful basketball, and if you are like me, you’re about to run through a wall with excitement.

The Pels will play their first of three scrimmage games tonight in The Arena (WWOS) in Orlando, Florida.

They will take on the Brooklyn Nets in a game that both teams will use to shake off the rust, practice different lineup combinations and generally get back the feel for playing competitive basketball.

The Pelicans will be without star rookie Zion Williamson, who is attending to a family emergency outside the bubble, but otherwise should be at full strength.

Fans are desperate to see some basketball, so the NBA and teams are making these scrimmages available online and on television, depending on where you live.

The idea of watching a scrimmage a few years ago would have been almost unthinkable, but now, after the league has been shut down for so long, fans are eager to see how their teams look and will be flocking in droves to watch these games.
