Pelicans +20

Would agree with you. The Spurs won the last 3 meetings by 14, 13, and 8 points, respectively. With the season winding down, you don't expect the Spurs expending too much to beat the Pelicans. We're also seeing that now with the Warriors.

Holiday was slated to have his orbital socket examined and forward Alonzo Gee (quadriceps) departed the contest in the third quarter as the club's injury woes continued. "I'm going to send out an all-points bulletin to anybody in the French Quarter or anywhere else; we need a voodoo doctor or something here," Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry told reporters. "We've got to find the bones under this place or do something."
They are hitting the streets as we speak asking guys to play tonight. LOL.

Umm, am I missing something here? Wouldn't this be an auto play, especially knowing the Spurs aren't gonna go out of their way to run it up?

Of course, I did take Philly the other night getting +22, so......but at least they have some guys that have played more than a week.

This isn't a bet on the Pelicans playing well. It's a bet on Pop taking it easy on his starters, getting some bench guys action, trying out some new plays, and having the decency to not run some d leaguers out of the building. This game reminds me of when the Broncos were -28.5 against the Jaguars a few years back. It's not that they can't win by that many, it's just that it's certainly not worth less than even money to believe they do so. Hell, I'd rather lay -20 with the Warriors tonight for a ton of plus money just on the chances that Steph and Klay have one of those nights.

Curious to see what the TT for NO will be. OF course my book loves to release them around like 4pm lol

Do we even need an orbital socket? Sounds like something from another galaxy.
Bandage it up and get out on the court Holiday!

We all know Pops won't run it up. We also know they might not be able to help themselves. For example, what if NOP put up 69 points like some other NBA teams have done??? What is he suppose to do, tell his guys NOT to score??? I think a good bet here is SAS TT under 109.

Your not missing anything, Pels have like 10 players out for the season, mostly starters. If your feeling that brave parlay them with the Lakers lol

rm18 · 03-30-16, 01:25 PM

They are basically a d league team, 76ers are -6 vs Pelicans at this point.

PorkChop · 03-30-16, 01:30 PM

I'll just smartly play it live at +27.5 after a Spurs run and Pelicans timeout.

POOLSIDE · 03-30-16, 09:46 PM

Yeah, I wasn't missing anything. Strange line.
