Pelicans odds vs. Lakers: New Orleans can end Lakers' season
The New Orleans Pelicans and Los Angeles Lakers are playing each other tonight. The Pelicans are two games ahead of the Lakers and two ahead the Spurs. They are the 9th seed and are trying to qualify for the play-in tournament. If they win, they will host the game and keep the 2022 NBA Draft pick from the Los Lakers. Los Ales have lost four in a row and they are on the verge of missing the playoffs.
The money lines are set at -105 for New Orleans and -115 for Los Angeles. The Pelicans are one point underdogs on the road tonight in LA. This is an absolute must-win game for the Lakers. Trey Murphy III stepped up in the last game vs. LA and I like him to do it again tonight. Brandon Ingram played well against the LA Lakers but is still coming back from a hamstring injury.
The game in LA has a late tip-off time of 9:30 PM CT. It can be watched on Bally Sports New Orleans or listen on ESPN 100.3 FM.
