Can't wait!

Holy crap I am in shock at how quickly this season came up on me lol

Is the game not being televised ?

I don't believe it is. Sounds like the Pelicans aren't broadcasting the game either, so no television coverage at all it appears.

Truly unbelievable in 2024 when most people in the stands will have 4k cameras in their pockets with the ability to livestream it if they wanted to.

The depth of this team is really such a refreshing thing to see. The "3rd" string is full of intrigue and talented guys who could develop and/or step into roles when guys inevitably miss games.

Expecting to see AB in a very different role today. Strap in.

Well you won't exactly "see" it, but I get what you mean

I heard that it will be available on the Pelican’s website.

Enjoy the game for me!!! Go Magic! All I care about is that everyone finish the game safely.

I kind of like the over in that this is a pre-season game and thus will be up-tempo. But as the Magic getting points in a pre-season game, only an idiot would look to any betting line.

Look: neither team's coach will be looking to win the game. In the last 2-minutes whatever players are on the court will try to win. Because that's just competition.

But there are no set plays late game. It is purely stochastic variation who wins. So, I love Orlando here with the fat 2.5 gifted.

With that betting line, I would say the Magic is about 60% to pay out. That's a great bet.

It's likely 1:30 cause The Saints are playing tonight.
