New Orleans Pelicans and Chicago Bulls will lock horns on Thursday at the Smoothie King Center in their season-opening game. The Pelicans were less impressive during the preseason when they lost all three matchups. They'll hope to avoid injuries to key players this season as they prepare to mount a serious challenge in the Western Conference. Moving on to the East, Chicago Bulls completed a strong preseason after winning three of their five encounters. They finished last season with only 39 wins and were knocked out of the Play-In tournament by the Heat. The Bulls should be a threat this season if everyone stays fit.
