The Pelicans come into this game fresh off a solid win over the Celtics and seem solidly focused on doing everything they can to make a playoff run this season. While everyone wants to talk about Zion, rightfully so as he has been playing great right off the bat, I want to focus on Brandon Ingram who needs to be making the All-Star game as he has been one of the best SFs in the league so far this season and deserves to be recognized.

The Cavaliers come into this game fresh off a win over the Pistons but are clearly still playing out an aggressively losing season. Tristan Thompson and Kevin love should be on the trade block very aggressively right now as they are not doing the Cavs any good as they play out a disaster season. There is not a good reason to have these veterans eating up minutes that would be more beneficial for the young players they are hoping to develop.

Take the Pelicans as Cleveland wont be able to keep up offensively and tired from playing last night.
New Orleans by 10 or more.
