Los Angeles Lakers vs New Orleans Pelicans Preview
Needing a win to have any chance of avoiding the play-in series, the Los Angeles Lakers will visit the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center on the final day of the regular season. Along with a win in this contest, the Lakers need Portland to lose against Denver on Sunday in order to secure the sixth seed. At the very least, the Lakers’ half of that equation looks likely to be completed given they are coming up against a Pelicans lineup that is missing Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and Steven Adams. Those absences have led to New Orleans losing four of its last five games, including a 125-122 defeat to a similarly depleted Warriors lineup on Friday. Meanwhile, the Lakers have won four straight after downing Indiana 122-115 yesterday.
