00:00Despite the Pelicans being one of the worst teams in the Western Conference

00:06and them catching two and a half at home tonight, of course, no Kevin Durant for

00:10Phoenix will be re-evaluated in about a week after suffering an injury in the

00:16NBA Cup finale for Phoenix against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. So no KDDRS

00:23leads us to the Pels? Yeah, we're good. The Pels have been absolutely atrocious but

00:28sometimes it's just about a product of your environment and who's actually playing for

00:32you on a night-to-night basis. The Pelicans have been so injured, but also, you know,

00:36I love the Big Three. When the Suns are playing with the Big Three, I'm usually going to be

00:39involved in that game. KD goes down, now you're on the road. I start to say to myself, okay,

00:42why would that line anyway only be in that minus one and a half, minus two range,

00:46but now sits at minus two and a half? You take a look at the Pelicans who are terrible, but

00:50they're anticipated starting lineup tonight, Ben, DeJuan Tameri, CJ McCollum, Brandon Ingram,

00:55Trey Murphy, and Meecees. So if Brandon Ingram is playing tonight, that's a nice little boost

01:00in the arm, and I do think the Pelicans are horrible, but that line, just reading into it,

01:05so many of the public betting unrelentingly on the Suns tonight, I'm going against the grain.

01:10You give me an Ingram start, they fight in this game, and I'll take the two and a half points.
