    Probably the riskiest game of the year to place a bet at Las Vegas.

    Pelicans want to lose, and the Rockets will rest everyone, and the line will favor the Rockets, likely.

    I'd bet on the Pelicans winning this game. They've been trying to lose but gave our team a run for our money on saturday and beat OKC on monday.

    Prediction: Austin Rivers gets broke off by Canaan and gestures to the refs about being pushed

    That would be nice. McHale should have a copy of this line up(Replace Hamilton with DMO). I hope he doesn't play the starters and IF he does limit their minutes to 12.

    they should start the bench so they could figure out how to get out of their slump. just rest the starters.

    Maybe his back is still sore. Or maybe McHale wants to give the Viper squad some playing time.

    Harden and Parsons make sense. They've been burning minutes like crazy.

    Lin hasn't been playing huge minutes, so that seems very unusual to me.

    Things that make you go hmmm......
