Through 3 Quarters
The point spread is against the New Orleans Pelicans, but thus far the points are on their side. Sitting on a score of 80-73, they have looked like the better team out there today, but there’s still one more quarter to play.
New Orleans has been led by point guard Devonte’ Graham, who so far has 19 points and five assists. Graham is close to surpassing his season high of 21. One thing to keep an eye out for is Herbert Jones’ foul situation as he currently sits at four.
