Result:
LOSS

The New Orleans Pelicans have overcome a lot of adversity this season, as they saw their playoff hopes dampen with the loss of DeMarcus Cousins for the season. It actually seemed to galvanize the team, and they have played like a playoff team since his injury. They are in a rough spot tonight, as they will play in a rare three games in three nights, due to a postponement of an earlier game. The Lakers started the season as they ended recent past seasons as a bad team, but after revamping their roster, this team has come to life. Since January 6th, the Lakers have been the ninth best team in the NBA at 20-12. The Lakers are certainly under the radar, and catching new Orleans in an ultra-rare three games in three nights situation late in the season when fatigue is going to be a big factor will be the edge in this one. Make the play on the Lakers.
