The Kings lost.
The Wolves lost.
The Grizzlies lost.
The Suns are down 21 points in the 4th.

It'll be a great day if we win.

Win and we’re within 3 games of everyone and still play Memphis and Spurs 3 more times each. That +350 is massive value on Pels to make the playoffs, a win tonight would prove that. Wish my sportsbook offered those lines

Saw Silver Slipper offer futures bets.....would that cover this +350 of the Pelicans making the playoffs?

I tried calling —-they don’t take calls in the Sports Book...

I don't think any casino will take a bet over the phone, at least not before every state legalizes sports betting. They don't know where you're calling from and you cant prove it.

Blazers lose to the Mavs. That drops them to 2.5 games back of the Spurs and only 1.5 games ahead of us.

The Grizzlies beat Detroit, while the Spurs fell to the Suns, so Memphis is again back in 8th. We're now 4.5 games back.

Our playoff odds on 538 have dropped down to 48%.

The great Zach Lowe who coined the brilliant “Pellies” nickname that so many of us use said that 538s playoff projections are nonsense and we have very little chance

two other websites versions have pels under 20%.

When zion is fully integrated pels should go on a mighty, awesome tear.

I posted couple weeks ago about philadelphia last minor league hockey season.
Team went on long undefeated streak, won league at very end.
Once the pel streak is up around 5 or 6 the buzz will be visible from space.

Tuesday against Cleveland must win. We can’t lose to the bottom feeders.

last sentence garbled.

Looks like no one wants to take the bet.

Memphis won today too.
A bunch of starter guys with 20.
Bench dudes solid.
It appears they are a feature right to the end now.

Take a look at remaining schedule strength. Pels now have the easiest schedule in the league, while the Grizzlies have the 4th-toughest.

Grizz in 8th place right now and hoping this week could shake out pretty well for us looking at our schedules.

We play the Cavs tomorrow which should be a W, then get a few days off before playing the Grizz at home on Friday night in which a W would give us a full game up on them. Meanwhile the Grizz have to play the Nuggets tomorrow then travel to NY for a back to back on Wednesday then come back down here to us on Friday.

Im expecting to gain a game and a half on them this week and get back within a few games of a playoff spot.

San Antonio, Memphis and Portland are going to be tuff to pass. One to two of them are going to be pretty steady and i'd guess that Portland could make a run. They have just been a really good regular season team, it's kind of odd seeing them in the 10th spot.

ATL
SAC
Knicks

They need to get back to playing with that defensive mindset and fix the little things like free throws. We should of won the last 3 games and sitting at 20 wins right now. No room for error especially with San Antonio being in the mix.
