You read that right, the Pelicans are 6.5-point favorites. Considering the team’s current four-game losing streak and with Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum still out, that’s a little hard to believe.
Willie Green will start Devonte’ Graham, Herb Jones, Naji Marshall, Jaxson Hayes and Jonas Valanciunas for a second straight game.
Stephen Silas will counter with Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr., Eric Gordon, Jae’Sean Tate and Christian Wood.
