The LA Lakers switch their attention to the NBA Cup this weekend and will travel to face off with the struggling New Orleans Pelicans. LA tops the West Group B, while the Pelicans are fourth. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Pelicans are having a disappointing season once again. With 11 games played thus far, they have won just twice. This return has them with the worst record in the Western Conference.
Willie Green’s men, who lost their NBA Cup opener, are on a three-match losing run. Returning home after a three-match road trip, the Pels were outscored 125-117 last time out by the Blazers.
The Lakers have witnessed a dip in form recently. They have lost twice in their last three outings, and before this run, they had won five in a row.
J.J. Redick’s men are coming off an embarrassing 121-92 loss to the Thunder. The loss in OKC was the second successive setback for LA by at least 20 points.
Despite recent struggles, the Lakers are having a strong season and have won eight of 12 games and sit fifth in the Western Conference. The Lakers, who defeated the Grizzlies in round one of the NBA Cup, will continue to be without LeBron James due to injury.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
Our New Orleans Pelicans v LA Lakers prediction is the Lakers at -5.5. The Lakers have stuttered in recent outings, but we still have them as the best bet to win this game. This is because they have fared much better this season than the Pelicans and have had a dominant recent run in this fixture.
LA hasn’t lost any of the last six meetings with New Orleans. Another advantage they have is that their hosts are severely depleted. The Pels do not have two of the best offensive options in Zion Williamson and Jordan Poole.
