Rebound Leaders: Yves Missi, 13; Bennedict Mathurin/Myles Turner, 9
Assist Leaders: Elfrid Payton, 21; Tyrese Haliburton, 13
My Player of the Game: Elfrid Payton
Takeaways
- Elfrid Payton has been so CLUTCH for the Pelicans while dealing with so many injuries. With his 21 assists against the Pacers, he has had the most assists in a single NBA game this season.
- Even though the Pelicans lost this game by four and Friday's game against the Warriors by four points, the team is showing so much fight considering they're still without Dejounte Murray, Herb Jones, Jose' Alvarado and Zion Williamson.
- Rookie Yves Missi is a HIGHLIGHT for this Pelicans team right now. He is quick, plays smooth defense, and continually is getting better on offense.
- Trey Murphy III lit it up on the offensive end for the Pelicans, which is a great sign.
- Brandon Ingram is dealing with a minor calf injury so although he's playing, he's not 100%.

After a close loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the New Orleans Saints have a chance to bounce back against a depleted San Francisco 49ers team, but can they do it?
When: Saturday, September 13th, 2025, 6:30 PM Where: The Real Death Valley, Baton Rouge, LA Channel: ABC Spread: LSU -7.5 O/U: 46.5 This will be the 72nd time these schools meet up in this storied rivalry. This game always has a story, a moment to remember, so be ready, football fans! Florida Gators The Gators enter this contest with a record of 1-1. Florida opened up the season with a 55-0 win over Long Island University, but the Gators dropped a game last week to a talented South Florida team. This Gator offense is led by quarterback DJ Lagway. LSU fans remember Lagway all too well from last season. On the season, Lagway is 38/51, with 342 passing yards and 4 TDs. Jadan Baugh is the leader in the backfield. The leading pass catchers on this team are Vernell Brown III, Eugene Wilson III, and Hayden Hansen. The Gator defense is a solid unit. Jaden Robinson and Myles Graham are the leading linebackers. Tyreak Sapp is the leader on the defensive line. LSU Tigers The Tigers are coming off of a "disappointing" victory against Louisiana Tech. The Tigers have a chance to bury the Gators' dreams for the season in this game. This game being in Death Valley helps out the Tigers tremendously. The Tigers better be ready to get on the Gators early and often because this is an upset Gator team with a big upset on the mind. KEYS TO THE GAME - Can the Tigers establish a running game? The leaders on this team need to get up. - Will the Tigers' defense keep up the red-hot start to the season? - Will Braelin Moore be back on the field? This is a mad Florida team who would love to upset the Tigers in this rivalry. Can the Tigers contain DJ Lagway? Fun Fact: Florida running back coach Jabar Juluke was born in New Orleans. He was the running back coach at LSU in 2016. Thank you for checking out my article. Follow me on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) @eazytro
