00:00and we'll see you back here next week.

00:06Cleveland, who also has a very interesting game coming up here

00:09tonight against the Pelicans, who shocker can't stay healthy

00:13and they're getting seven points at home. My goodness,

00:17what are we doing here? You don't see that very often,

00:20especially in this league. And I do think it is a product of

00:23all the injuries that the Pelicans are dealing with. Let's

00:26talk about months worth of storylines. They're dealing

00:28with injuries three weeks into the season. We don't know if

00:30Zion Williams is going to play tonight. They're going to be

00:32without Herb Jones, Dejounte Murray, Trey Murphy, the third

00:36and CJ McCollum. So it does make sense this line for this

00:39one. And as well as the Cavaliers have played this year,

00:42I do like them, you know, even as that big of a favorite on

00:45the road. I think that just because they are at full strength

00:48basically, and those guys have been playing so well, they'll

00:51go down to New Orleans and take care of business because

00:53this Pelicans team has unfortunately been disappointing,

00:55even through the injuries losing at home to the Trailblazers

00:58over the weekend as well, getting outscored by one player

01:01only scored 18 points in the fourth quarter and the

01:03Trailblazers bringing Delano Banton who scored 20 points in

01:06the fourth quarter alone. So the Pelicans are just trending

01:08the wrong way right now and injuries have a big hand in it,

01:11but the Cavs are turning the right way.
