In honor of Abe's DVR reviews...
Lucky us, we get the return of Zion. The Pels have been bad this year, but the Wolves haven't lit the world on fire, either. I assume we'll see last nights starting lineup out there again. They were not good to start the first half, but were quite good to start the 2nd half. We'll see what tonight brings.
Conley in his new bench role was a team best +11, which is really good since he only played 26 minutes. Hopefully, this revitalized Daddy is not just a one night stand.

Yep, Zion is back, but two other starters are out (Murphy and Ingram)...2 of their 3 highest volume 3-point shooters. Both PFers are in disfavor with their fans...could the two teams be showcasing them for a "take out the garbage" trade? Wolves are favored by 4 1/2, and I have to think a smart bet would be to give the points, huh?
I assume Finchie goes with the same starting lineup. Hopefully we win big enough that we don't have to worry about the closing lineup, but if we do, that may be the same too. Rob (the Iron Horse) Dillingham is out again of course, but will Minott be healthy enough to get some minutes and be productive?
A win and a Nuggets loss to the Celtics could put us only a game and a half out of 4th place...hard to believe. Let's go win this one!

Probably a bad omen: Suns are struggling at Charlotte and Rockets struggling at Washington…

Pretty legit starting lineup for the Pelicans tonight.
Randle matches up well against Zion.

So much for the fast start…
I liked it better when ANT played the entire 1st and 3rd quarters.
Pels look better now that there getting some guys back.

Naz has assumed the role of KAT this year with getting absolutely rooted by the officials.

We give away way too many offensive rebounds.
