L.Dort o10.5 Pts-118

J.Williams o2.5 Rebs+120

He averaged 3.4 rpg this season, and had 13 rebounds in 29 minutes vs NOP this season. I could very easily get burned by mins here, but he should hit this with 12, a mark he hit the last 12 regular season games. And yes, I know the playoffs are different, but I don’t see Chet getting more than 36 minutes, and I do think the Thunder will spell him with Jaylin.

Playable to 6.5 The Pelicans escaped the Play-In Tournament and look to take down the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. The Pelicans will be without Zion Williamson for this game and one player that should step up is Brandon Ingram. Without Zion, the offense runs significantly more through Ingram and the team can get Trey Murphy a few more minutes as well. One area that Ingram sees a spike is in assists. On the season, Ingram averages 5.7 assists on 10.4 potentials per game but without Zion this ticks up to 6.3 on 12.5 potentials. While this matchup against OKC is not an easy one, OKC does play fast which gives a few extra possessions as well. The 5.5 assists line is one Ingram has exceeded in 7/10 games without Zion this season including a 9 assist on 19 potentials against this same Thunder team. Ingram looks healthy, and he should see plenty of time on the floor. I expect Ingram to continue being the focal point of the Pelicans’ offense.
