New Orleans at Los Angeles

The Lakers are relieved to be back home after a 1-3 trip that ended with two losses at Washington and Brooklyn. However, they have the advantage tonight against New Orleans, which also has been struggling. The Pelicans have lost three of its last four and Anthony Davis is questionable tonight with an ankle injury and illness. The Pelicans lost at Milwaukee on Wednesday with Davis scoring 27 points with 11 rebounds and Jrue Holiday added 25 points. The New Orleans defense allowed the Bucks a .506 shooting percentage and Giannis Antetokounmpo was too much for the Pelicans to handle as he scored 25 points and pulled down eight rebounds. The Pelicans are 4-12 on the road and the Lakers are 11-4 at home and they have won their last five home contests in a row. LeBron James exploded for 36 points against the Nets and Lonzo Ball added 23 in a losing cause. Look for Los Angeles to come out on top in tonight's matchup. Play the Lakers on the moneyline.
