00:00Let's go to the big easy tonight as well to round out the triple header.

00:06The Pells, a home underdog as you would probably expect against the Sacramento Kings.

00:12That line now seven in favor of Sacramento on the road in New Orleans.

00:17Two thirty one and a half is the total.

00:19Donnie, are you agreeing with the line movement on the FanDuel Sportsbook?

00:23Yes I am.

00:24And once a month, usually the Pelicans get a victory.

00:26I think they already used that up.

00:27And by the way, I did pick them last time they took on the Suns at home outright to

00:31win that game.

00:32And they did.

00:33Then they lost by double digits.

00:34Then lost by the Spurs.

00:35They're going to get hammered again tonight.

00:36Because you have one team that's rested and ready.

00:38One team that's dead in the water.

00:39I agree.

00:40That five and a half to seven.

00:41We should be looking at a road victory for the Kings of at least double digits tonight.

00:45They're intact in their starting lineup.

00:47And you know who's not intact in their starting lineup?

00:49It's the Pelicans.

00:50And they stink.

00:51No juice tonight for them.

00:52We're going to go with the Kings.

00:54Five and 20 is the record for the Pelicans this season.

00:58Of course, it has been a dismal year already in New Orleans.

01:02Even with the acquisition of DeJounte Murray, Zion Williamson has not been healthy.

01:07Murray was out for a long time.

01:09Brennan Ingram now sidelined indefinitely once again.

01:13It's just a disaster.

01:14They have been booked as an underdog in 19 of 25 games.

01:19They are 8 and 11 against the spread.

01:21A little bit better covering numbers than they are in winning games outright.

01:25But it's not been a recipe for success.

01:28Sacramento, meanwhile, 12 and 13 this year, DRS.

01:31And we are starting to already see this form very early on this season.

01:35In the first month and a half of this NBA campaign, there was about four teams that

01:40were above 500 in the Eastern Conference.

01:43Right now, there are seven teams above 500 in the Eastern Conference.

01:48But you've got everybody else, eight of the 15, four games below 500 or worse.

01:54There are only three teams that are below two games below 500 in the Western Conference.

02:01So the Kings, only a game below 500, trying to get back to that even number.

02:06Right now, they're not even sniffing the play-in tournament because of how deep the Western

02:10Conference in this year and how weak the Eastern Conference is this season.
