We know for sure that Indiana will be without Myles Turner, Domantas Sabonis and Malcolm Brogdon -- and possibly Caris LeVert too. Thus, even though the Pels are without Brandon Ingram (and Zion), they should have enough to beat the visiting Pacers. Jonas Valanciunas should dominate that short-handed frontcourt.
The Pelicans have quietly won seven of their previous 10 home games and will host a Pelicans team that won't have Malcolm Brogdon or Domantas Sabonis on Monday. Caris LeVert will be a game-time decision and could make this game close if he suits up, so I'm sticking with New Orleans on the moneyline. Jonas Valaniunas should dominate the post with no Sabonis or Myles Turner (foot) available, and the Pacers are 2-6 straight up this year when Brogdon and LeVert don't play.
