The Lakers, with a 14-4 record, are riding a six-game winning streak that began with a 118-104 victory over the Pelicans in New Orleans, and they will face them again, this time at Crypto Arena. The Lakers maintained their undefeated record in the NBA Cup on Friday, defeating the Mavericks 129-119, thanks to an explosive combination between Doncic and Reaves that generated 73 points combined.
Reaves had a spectacular day against the Mavs, going 6-for-8 from three-point range. He said he felt comfortable and mobile on the court, waiting for LeBron or Doncic to find him for an open shot. The Lakers played their fourth consecutive game with LeBron on the court, but last-minute reports before the game against the Pelicans suggest that LeBron will not return to action until Monday against the Suns due to a foot injury.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans, languishing in the Western Conference, suffered another defeat, this time 96-104 against the Warriors. Their star, Zion Williamson, scored 25 points, and LeBron James added 21. Trey Murphy was sidelined with a right elbow injury.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
While New Orleans faces Sunday's game against the Lakers without Murphy and likely without Bill Poole, the Lakers will be without LeBron James and Marcus Smart. Even so, betting sites still predict a comfortable Lakers victory, having set them as 14-point favorites.
When the Lakers win this season, they typically do so by a landslide; their record against the spread this season is as impressive as 13-5. When the Lakers beat the Pelicans earlier in the season at the Smoothie King Center, Doncic recorded a double-double with 24 points and 12 assists.
Our prediction for Lakers vs Pelicans is: Lakers -14.5.
