Jabari Smith Jr: “It’s a big boost. Defending champions, we know how good they are. We know how locked in we have to be on their actions and just how they play as a whole going into the game, so it’s a big plus that we can go in and execute and beat them.” – 11:12 PM

Now that Pels are out to this big early lead – if they win by at least 12 they can jump Phoenix for wild card, which would inoculate them against Houston taking group with win over Dallas on Tuesday. – 11:09 PM

Pelicans are already up 19 on the Clippers, so if they win big tonight and move to 3-1, the Suns (+34 point diff.) would need the Rockets (+16 point diff.) to either lose to Dallas Tuesday, or at least not win by 19+ points – 11:01 PM
