00:03 Going to the Midwest in Indianapolis tonight, the Pells a five and a half point road dog.
00:09 What does that tell us? We're not sure about availability for New Orleans this evening.
00:14 Meanwhile, Indiana, a couple of days off, laying five and a half at home, the over under
00:19 238 and a half. The Pacers looking to keep things going here against New Orleans.
00:23 Yeah, Pacers with a bad performance last time out. So now we're taking a look at the New Orleans
00:28 Pelicans who played very well in the garden last night. But also keep in mind,
00:32 if do we get a fully intact starting lineup? The reason I asked that is look,
00:35 I don't think so. Back to back, you're not going to get that. But also they didn't have that high
00:40 leverage situation in the fourth quarter. They had to pay pressure minutes all the way down the
00:44 stretch. They won fairly easily. Now looking at the anticipated starting lineup, usually everybody's
00:48 in it at this time of the morning. But also keep in mind, CJ McCollum did not play last night.
00:53 He's expected in the starting lineup tonight. So let's just say we do get maybe Zion sitting
00:58 this basketball game out, but getting CJ McCollum back in that lineup along with Brandon Ingram,
01:02 is that enough here for the Pacers to lay that much in this environment? But also keep in mind,
01:06 we know the Pacers want to push tempo here. The 238 and a half, you typically say,
01:10 oh no, they played in the garden. They got to travel to Indianapolis. I still think we get
01:14 great pace in this game. And this game has a legitimate chance to go over. But again,
01:18 us handicapping in the morning for a game on a team on a back to back on the road,
01:22 it's always tough to do. I'll still lean towards the Pelicans,
01:24 hoping for the best in that starting lineup.
