Advice and prediction
The Pelicans’ lack of bodies caught up with them on Tuesday and likely will continue to be the case on Wednesday. Brandon Ingram and Kira Lewis are considered questionable and would be huge boosts just in having players available.
Even if Ingram and/or Lewis are available, though, Durant and Irving are a different beast. Take Nets minus-9 as the Pelicans continue to struggle with injuries.
Prediction: Nets 122, Pelicans 105
