Quick turnaround dynamics being what they are, don't mind backing the Pelicans in revenge tonight at Smoothie King against the Pacers. 'Nawlins was down early (40-24 after 1st Q) before it knew what happened on Wednesday at Indy, and spent the rest of the night trying to dig out of a hole. Don't expect the same sort of slow start, and resultant uphill climb, tonight, even as the Pels have lost three of four. Note there have been three quick turnaround situations involving NO this season, and in each instance, the second spread result reversed the first. The Pels' "Big 3" (Zion, Ingram, McCollum) each scored 23 or more at midweek, so are in good form to trigger a reversal from Wednesday. Play Pelicans

CJ McCollum finished with six rebounds and three assists when these two teams played each other Wednesday. He is averaging 4.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game for the season. Over his last 11 games, he has combined for at least eight rebounds and assists eight times. In one of the games that he didn’t, he left early with an injury. In the other two, he had seven combined rebounds and assists both times. With the Pacers having played at the second-fastest pace and having the fifth-worst defensive rating in the league, look for McCollum to hit this over.

Brandon Ingram scored 30 points when these two teams met Wednesday. With regards to this prop, Ingram has scored at least 22 points in three straight games and is averaging 22.0 points on 50.8 percent shooting from the field at home this season. The Pacers have played at the second-fastest pace and have the fifth-worst defensive rating in the league, so look for Ingram to have another productive evening in the scoring column.

Yes, the Pacers largely dominated the Pelicans on Wednesday -- we cashed -- but New Orleans was in the second of a back-to-back and looked gassed immediately down 16 after a quarter. The Pels never recovered. CJ McCollum also was just back from injury and only 9-for-21 shooting. Indiana is a .500 team on the road. New Orleans will get back sparkplug guard and good defender Jose Alvarado on Friday from a three-game suspension, and he'll surely spend plenty of time on Tyrese Haliburton. Everyone should be available for NO with the team not playing again until next Tuesday. So rare to sweep a home-and-home in the NBA if the teams are fairly even as these are.
