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.
