Los Angeles Lakers vs. New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
The New Orleans Pelicans and the Los Angeles Lakers will battle things out from LA on Wednesday night. The Pelicans come into this game representing a record of 4-2 in the young season. The Pelicans surprised the league last season when they made the playoffs. They got hot toward the end of the season and went on a hell of a run. The crazier thing about the Pelicans late-season run was they did it all without star forward Zion Williamson. Zion is considered one of the best young players in the game. The addition of Williamson this year makes the Pelicans a favorite to make the playoffs. They will look to continue their good play with a win over the Lakers tonight.
The Lakers, meanwhile, come into play playing to the tune of a 1-5 record. It has been a house of horrors for the Lakers the last two seasons, and many fans are getting restless with this team. Russell Westbrook has been the main guy blamed, but there are a lot of guys to blame. Anthony Davis has struggled to stay on the court, putting the Lakers in tough positions to win games. The Lakers lack of shooting has been the main issue for the team. They will look to turn things around with a home win tonight.
I am trusting the line and the Lakers tonight. I know most of you will not love this pick, but I will trust this short line. The Lakers have not looked impressive by any means, and the Pelicans are three points better than the Lakers, yet we see this tight line. This is a Lakers team that is much better than they have shown, and I think, at some point, they will turn things around. I expect them to battle and keep this tight tonight at home.
