SF - LeBron James - LA Lakers

LeBron James

At 36, LeBron James will still be the critical factor in the LA Lakers-New Orleans Pelicans matchup. He continues to be one of the best players in the league and shows no signs of slowing down, as he leads the LA Lakers in minutes played, points scored, and assists. LeBron continues to space out the LA Lakers floor and looks determined to repeat as NBA champions with his team.

PF - Zion Williamson - New Orleans Pelicans

The first pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Zion Williamson has lived up to the hype surrounding him. Despite missing out on most of the last season and playing on a minutes restriction, he still managed to get nominated for Rookie of the Year.

However, this year Zion is better than ever, averaging 21.9 points and 8.1 rebounds for his team. He has the difficult task of guarding Anthony Davis or LeBron James to give the New Orleans Pelicans some chance of winning the game.

Anthony Davis

Anthony Davis continues to be one of the top 5 players in the NBA and the second best on the LA Lakers. He is averaging 22.1 points and 8.5 rebounds this season, with a crazy 56.7 field goal percentage. He is also thoroughly improved his three-point shot, shooting 39.4 percent from behind the arc. It'll be interesting to see who guards Davis in the match against the New Orleans Pelicans, and expect him to take full advantage of the size mismatch.
