Lakers vs Pelicans Picks & Prediction

The Lakers remain in New Orleans after knocking off the Pelicans in Sunday's regular season finale, 124-108.

Los Angeles vaulted to 8th place in the Western Conference, giving themselves two opportunities to get into the playoffs in case it loses on Tuesday.

Both teams are back in the Play-In Tournament for a second straight season, although they didn't face each other in 2023.

The Lakers edged the Timberwolves in overtime, while the Pelicans lost in their do-or-die game against the Thunder at home.

Brandon Ingram returned for the Pelicans on Sunday after missing three weeks with a knee injury. Ingram scored 13 points in 23 minutes of action, as the former Laker is averaging 20.8 points per game this season.

LeBron James and the Lakers have won five consecutive road games, although four of those victories came against non-playoff teams.

Los Angeles won three of four matchups with New Orleans this season, as the lone Pelicans' victory came at home, 129-109 on December 31.

The public will likely be on the Lakers due to the LeBron factor and seeing how Los Angeles handled New Orleans on Sunday.

But the Pelicans still have three dynamic players in Ingram, Zion Williamson, and C.J. McCollum that can try to neutralize the scoring total from James and Anthony Davis.

If New Orleans can receive strong efforts from some of its role players, the Pelicans have an excellent opportunity to win this game and grab the 7th seed in the West.

Pick: Pelicans -1 (-110)
