by Devesh Jaganath | in NBA Predictions
The Los Angeles Lakers will travel to the Smoothie King Center to face the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA on Sunday morning. The Pels (4-9) are 14th in the Western Conference, while the Lakers (8-4) are fifth in the conference standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The New Orleans Pelicans are missing a whole host of players through injury at present but managed to snap up a six-match losing streak by beating the Nuggets 101-94 last night.
Brandon Ingram led the team with 29 points, as the team took an 11-point lead in the second half and managed to hold off their opponents, who were missing their big man Nikola Jokic.
Still, the Pels are a bottom-10 side on both ends this season - 29th in points scored per game (105.1) and 20th in PPG allowed (114.0).
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers picked up their fourth win on the bounce last night when they saw off the San Antonio Spurs 120-115 on the road.
Anthony Davis had a big night, scoring 40 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks, while LeBron James got a triple-double of 15 points, 16 rebounds and 12 assists.
The Lakers are now up to sixth place in the scoring charts, putting up 117.8 PPG on average, but they’re allowing 117.3 which ranks 25th overall in the league this season.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
Under normal circumstances, there would be an argument to be made for the Pels here as the home underdog on the end of a back-to-back for both teams, but they are severely depleted at present with most of their starters out injured.
Given New Orleans’ injury crisis combined with the Lakers' recent record and having most of their team fit, it’s a little surprising this line isn’t a little higher - but we’re certainly not complaining. Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers: Los Angeles Lakers -6.5!
