The Pelicans are off to a 4-3 start and look focused to playing defense under new coach Stan Van Gundy. On Monday, New Orleans threw away a six-point lead with 21 seconds left during a 118-116 home loss against the Pacers. The Pelicans outrebounded the Pacers by a 67-47 margin and missed 18 of their 27 three-point attempts.

OKC rank last in the league in offensively, so Unders is nice. The better outlay is on the Pelicans to cover.

The Raptors have lost five of their first six and seem to have lost the swagger that brought them the Championship two seasons back (losing Kahwi did not help of course). On Monday, Toronto were outscored by 24 points during the second quarter of a 126-114 home loss to the Celtics.

Phoenix have won five of their first seven and are tied in a three-way atop the West standings. On Sunday, Phoenix nearly came back from a 31-point deficit during a 112-107 home loss to the Clippers.

With veteran Chris Paul running the point, Phoenix play at the slowest tempo in the league.
