Los Angeles at New Orleans

The focus will be on LeBron James' pursuit of the scoring record, but the Pelicans will have other ideas as they try to end a losing streak as they are home following a three-game trip. James is listed as questionable with an ankle injury, but is expected to play and Anthony Davis is probable. The Lakers are playing their fifth consecutive road game and the last two were exhausting, including a 129-123 overtime victory at New York on Tuesday and then a 112-111 win at Indiana two nights later. Los Angeles had to go overtime before winning the first meeting this season 120-117 in November and New Orleans had won and covered the three previous meetings. The Lakers are 2-5 ATS playing with one day of rest and 3-7 ATS the past 10 meetings on the road. Play the Pelicans.
