Dante Cunningham: To start at small forward in preseason opener

Cunningham re-signed with the Pelicans to a one-year, $2.3 million contract this
summer and it appears he’ll get the first shot to start alongside Anthony Davis
and DeMarcus Cousins in the frontcourt. Still, E’Twaun Moore and Tony Allen are
likely still in the conversation and could rotate in as starters throughout the
preseason schedule. It will be a competition to monitor throughout the
exhibition slate though even if Cunningham earns a role in the top unit, he’s
still not the most intriguing fantasy option and would be the last option
offensively behind the likes of Rajon Rondo, Jrue Holiday, Davis and Cousins.
