On Wednesday evening, the New Orleans Pelicans will host the Cleveland Cavaliers.

For the game, they could remain without their best player, as Zion Williamson is on the injury report.

Williamson has missed each of the previous two games, so this would be his third straight out of the lineup (if he doesn't play).

Via Underdog NBA: "Zion Williamson (thigh) questionable for Wednesday."
