The New Orleans Pelicans are one of the worst teams in the NBA, but I think coach Alvin Gentry will have the team ready for this one after suffering through an embarrassing 130-84 loss to the Mavericks last time out. "So, it's a terrible game, a poorly played game, a poorly coached game, (and) all of us got to take responsibility. I take as much responsibility as they do, because I've got to find a way to get them playing at the highest level that they can and competing, and they didn't do that." Gentry said after the setback.

As for the Detroit Pistons, they're in a potential flat spot following a 108-101 home victory over Indiana. The Pistons are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.
