Los Angeles Lakers vs New Orleans Pelicans

Let’s get into this game where the oddsmakers have the Lakers as -2 points favorites. These two teams played each other last week where LA took the home victory 118-109.

Los Angeles come into this game after winning seven in a row, getting blown out my Memphis last night 105-88 with Lebron and Anthony Davis only combining for 34 total points, so expect them to be hungry for a huge bounce back game.

The Lakers on the road are ranked sixth in the league, scoring an average of 114.9 points per game, while defensively ranked sixth in the league also only giving up an average of 108.8 points per game on defense. Los Angeles is 5-2 against the spread in their last 7 games and the total has gone under in 5 of the Lakers’ last 7 games.

New Orleans comes into this game 26-33 overall, 12-17 at home, but just 3 games back from that eighth spot in the Western Conference, so every game played from now until the start of the playoffs will be extremely important and of course they are a much improved team with Zion back then their record currently shows. In their last game Friday Night at home, they took care of business getting the win, 116-104 vs the Cleveland Cavs. Brandon Ingram led the team with 29 points and 6 rebounds to go alongside with Zion’s 24 total points.
