Game #505 Pelicans +10 -106 (pinnacle) risking $106 to win $100

Yes the Pelicans are banged up and missing guys, but oddsmakers have the line adjusted accordingly.  The Warriors are raising the Championship banner tonight and getting their Championship rings and this is a yearly fade of the Championship winner for me.   Pelicans got swept by the Warriors in the playoffs last season, Davis will have to be a monster tonight and take over this Pelicans team as he will be missing:  Tyreke Evans (out until about Christmas).  Jrue Holiday is available but is on a 15 minute limit to start out the season.   Support players Omer Asik, Quincy Pondexter,  and Norris Cole are out and Alexis Ajinca and Luke Babbit will be very limited (if play at all).  An advantage I see is the coach for the Pelicans is Alvin Gentry, who was the assistant coach under Steve Kerr for the Warriors last season.  Might have a way to stop the splash brothers tonight.  Warriors coach Steve Kerr will be on the sidelines tonight after back surgery as Luke Walton takes over head coaching duties tonight.  This play is all about revenge from the playoff swept from last season and fading the Championship winning team.

GL to all tonight and enjoy another NBA season!!
