The Pelicans have played 241 possessions with Ingram, McCollum, and Valanciunas on the floor without Zion Williamson. In 117 possessions with those three on the floor the Lakers have a +5.3 point differential while only allowing opponents to score 106.7 points per 100 possessions, which would be in the 97th percentile of all lineups, per Cleaning the Glass. The Pelicans are down bad. This matchup would be awesome if these teams were both at full strength; however, that simply is not the case. [Lakers](https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/los-angeles-lakers) head on the road to take on the New Orleans [Pelicans](https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/new-orleans-pelicans). James is constantly attacking the rim and getting into the paint, taking 42% of his shots at the rim, and making 76% of them. They will once again be without Zion Williamson for this contest as he recovers from his hamstring strain and Dyson Daniels (ankle) will also miss. I’d expect James to play tonight in a nationally televised game as he is 63 points away from breaking the all-time scoring record. While the Pelicans started the season off hot, they have struggled since Zion Williamson went down with an injury and have now lost 10 games in a row and sit outside of the playoff picture just one game ahead of the Lakers.

Lakers vs. Pelicans Final Score: L.A. collapses in New Orleans (Silver Screen and Roll)

The Lakers led nearly the entire game against the Pelicans... until a fourth-quarter collapse doomed them in New Orleans.

With a 25-29 record, you might think the Lakers are inconsistent, but one thing they clearly are consistent on is making every game as stressful as possible. Then the Lakers regained comfort with Westbrook getting three consecutive assists and scoring a layup to put the lead back up to 8. With 9:05 left, Trey Murphy III hit back-to-back threes and gave the Pelicans a six-point lead, their biggest of the night. The Pelicans kicked it off with a mid-quarter run, bringing the deficit down to as little as three. Ingram was at an All-Star level for one of the few times since his own return, as his mid-range game was impeccable, scoring easily to end the night with 35 points total.
