LA Lakers (46-29) versus New Orleans Pelicans (21-55) is a Western Conference clash on Friday night at Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers will actively seek to win this game as they continue piling pressure on the second-placed Rockets. They are just two games behind the Rockets, although they’d be more worried about the Nuggets and the Warriors behind them. The Lakers are riding on a two-match winning streak, defeating the Grizzlies and the Rockets in their recent assignments.
New Orleans Pelicans, on the other hand, have struggled to impress this season. They are 14th in the conference standings with a winning percentage of .276, 43 games behind the Thunder at the top. However, Willie Green’s men will still want to wrap up the season on a high note and have something to build on ahead of a crucial offseason. A win against the Lakers could add some belief to the squad.
