00:03 The Knicks will host the Pelicans on the second leg, way back to back.

00:06 Again, it was chaos.

00:08 It was hysteria at the end of the game for

00:11 the Knicks yesterday against the Detroit Pistons.

00:13 Just the third win for New York in its last nine games.

00:17 The Pels enter actually as a road favorite,

00:20 laying three and a half total at 219, now 218.

00:24 And a hook is the right side favored inside MSG.

00:27 >> I'm gonna lay the three points in this game and also you're taking a look at

00:31 a Knicks team that yes, they're looking to just win basketball games any way they can.

00:35 That starting five certainly maxed out, playing a ton of minutes and

00:38 had a big time game yesterday against the Pistons who are not a very big time

00:43 contender here.

00:44 So then you take a look at the Pelicans,

00:45 they're not coming in in great fashion either, back to back losses.

00:47 They probably should have won both of those games.

00:50 And now they're looking to end that two game skid and

00:53 not turn it into a three game skid.

00:54 McCollum, Ingram, Jones, Williamson and

00:56 Valenciunas expected to be in the starting lineup.

00:58 That's a better starting lineup than the New York Knicks, who again,

01:01 are gonna have to play major minutes from their starting five on a back to back.

01:05 Give me the Pelicans in this game tonight, Ben.
