For those of you who are rooting for losses, today’s game was exactly what you would be looking for. If the Brooklyn Nets win their next game the Pelicans will be tied with them for the third fewest wins in the league. Why is this good news? Because if you end the season with the third fewest wins you get the third best odds in the lottery.
If you want the 8th seed, you likely didn’t enjoy this game. If you want Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram, or Kris Dunn then you likely had yourself a good time.
Starters:
Tyreke Evans had himself exactly the kind of game you would expect from him with Anthony Davis out.
