Slap’s NBA Friday

The Sixers have Detroit in the 2nd game of a b2b tomorrow, sit comfortably two games ahead of the Nets, and three games ahead of the Bucks with the easiest remaining schedule in the east. However the Sixers have traveled miles and miles and have to face a Pelicans team that will surely push the pace and test those weary legs of the Sixers so I expect the Pelicans to score tonight. The Pelicans offense averages 115 ppg while the Sixers average 113 ppg. While I don’t feel the Sixers will have trouble putting up points against the Pelicans I do think they’ll be a step behind in terms of energy and focus and could take a hungry Pelicans team lightly that already beat the Sixers starting lineup in New Orleans. They’ll have to make up for the loss of Ingram but under these circumstances I think it’s very possible.

Pelicans shut the Sixers down in the 4th quarter of that game and were coming into this game with some of those same defensive guys from that lineup. I had the Under in this one right as well and didn’t pull the trigger. Great app when it doesn’t act up or maybe it’s my tablet. Lol
