Cleveland Cavaliers at New Orleans Pelicans (+3)

Much to the chagrin of many who were hoping to see LeBron James and Kevin Durant go at it on Thursday night, they were disappointed.

Who knows if they’re even going to get LeBron vs. Anthony Davis on Friday?

The Pels are becoming one of those pesky teams – a team that will hover around the middle of the road, yet surprise you when you least expect it.

Anthony Davis continues to be at the top of my League Pass MVP ballot by doing things that a normal human can’t do. He’s averaging 25 points, nearly 11 rebounds and three blocks a game. Who in the world does that?

This should be the League Pass Game of the Night and should be a win for the Pels in the event LeBron doesn’t play. If he does, which he should, this should go down to the final possession.
