The Los Angeles Lakers look to continue their surge up the Western Conference standings when they host the Indiana Pacers with a Saturday afternoon tipoff. The Lake Show has shot up to fifth in the West with a 30-19 record while the Pacers are fourth in the East at 29-21. Read on for our match prediction.

Los Angeles left the NBA world speechless when they pulled off arguably the biggest trade of all time just before the deadline. Anthony Davis, who was having one of his most productive seasons as a Laker, was shipped to the Mavericks in exchange for generational talent Luka Doncic.

They come into this contest in the midst of their best stretch of the season, winning their last four in a row and nine of their last 11 overall.

Lebron James put on a masterclass in his team’s 120-112 home win over the Warriors, becoming only the second ever 40-year-old (along with Michael Jordan) to drop 40+ points in a game.

Like their opponents, the Pacers are also in scorching form at the moment. In fact, they have the best record in the entire NBA since the turn of the new year at 13-3.

Following a disappointing loss to Portland, Indiana bounced back with a 119-112 road win over the Clippers. Indiana is 2-1 on this current four-game West Coast road trip.
