WATCH: Pelicans favored against OKC in play-in, but how far can they go without Zion?

The New Orleans Pelicans are back in the NBA’s play-in tournament as the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference, and they’re favored over the Oklahoma City Thunder, but unlike last year, it doesn’t feel like there’s much momentum on the Pels’ side.

Both hosts of “Bayou Bets,” the twice-weekly sports betting show on Bet.NOLA.com, agreed on that point during Monday’s edition, with Zach Ewing saying Zion Williamson’s continued absence as hope of a return is continually dashed is making a difference. Spencer “The Guru” Urquhart went even farther, saying he thought OKC could spring an upset on Wednesday.

Also discussed was Jon Rahm’s Sunday dominance at The Masters to win as a +900 shot, plus the NFL draft later this month. Caesars Sportsbook, official partner of The Advocate and Times-Picayune, has odds out on which position the Saints will take with the first pick. Spencer and Zach gave their opinion on that front.

And is the No. 1 LSU baseball team overpriced at +400 to win the national title?
