Normally don't do this but I'm breaking my rule tonight

Because the NBA season is such a grind I try not to overreact to any one game in regards to injuries and who is in or out. 

However the Pelicans are trotting out a summer league roster + Brandon Ingram and will have no bench. 

Zion, Herb, CJ, and of course Murray and Murphy are ALL out. Even the rookie Jordan Hawkins who is forced to get the start tonight has back soreness but will play. 

Trust me the Hawks are a not good and their defense is porous. However with the bulk of their lineup healthy and starting five back, I have to do it tonight. 

Hawks ML -120  even Atl cant mess this up.

 BOL Hawks owe me 2 units this week and i think today they will win even i don't play . 

I’m also nervous when the star out angle comes into play. Hawks are on a 4 game losing streak and they couldn’t find a better opportunity to snap out of it by getting a W here.

@westlake888

If they lose against that roster then I give up on the Hawks. 

I live in Atlanta so I have seen first hand the sh*t show that is the Hawks. In all honesty if this same scenario wasn't the Hawks and some other team I would unload on it.

 The thing here is Brandon Ingram is the Pelicans ONLY healthy (traditional) starter. You rarely see this six games into the season. 

There are only 2 players playing for Pels tonight that have ANY business being in an NBA lineup.

 Thanks for sharing! 

Hawks wore down the Pelicans summer league squad and won going away. 

Might want to keep an eye on all these injuries for the Pelicans. A couple of scratches and you never know with Zion and they wouldn't be able to even beat the Jazz. They better get well and quickly. 

 

i would pay attention to the jazz they’re due a win which I can see them getting against the bulls tomorrow.

Wow that line moved like crazy. I was on Hawks +3.5
