Los Angeles Lakers vs. New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
This is essentially a playoff game for Los Angeles as they look to secure the 8-seed for the play-in tournament. I’m expecting massive minutes out of the stars in this one, and Lebron likes to ramp it up when the stakes are raised, this is a bet I simply refuse to miss out on.
New Orleans is the opponent for LeBron today, and they also have big stakes in this one. Both teams should be shortening rotations, and this game will have a playoff feel to it. James has played against New Orleans three times this year and has hit this prop in all three games. If they try to double him, we could see him pile up assists and if they can afford to due to AD, then he will dominate his assignment.
The NBA wants the Lakers in the playoffs, so I would imagine some favorable calls going LeBron's way. He’s an all-time great, but I would be lying if I said he wasn’t talented at selling calls that aren’t really there. I would love free throws on the climb to 35 points + assists. Not going to overcomplicate this one with positional stats and deep analysis, it’s LeBron in a meaningful game, bet him to do well. Let's roll!
