The New Orleans Pelicans remain in Los Angeles for their second game. Tonight, they take on the Lakers.
On Sunday, the Pelicans paid a visit to Crypto.Com Arena to take on the LA Clippers. They blew them out, winning by twenty-one points. Tonight, they take on a struggling Lakers team.
After opening the season with five terrible losses, three coming by nine points or more, they finally found a win when they hosted the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers will now try for two in a row, hosting a Pelicans team they hope has an LA hangover.

New Orleans Pelicans vs. Los Angeles Lakers Best Picks
The Pelicans are the top-scoring team in the NBA, averaging over 118 points per game. However, the Lakers are just behind the Clippers for the lowest-scoring team with 105. There are quite a few factors that will contribute to today's total points score, but the biggest concern is what the Pelicans have been doing the past two days.
Hopefully, they partied on Halloween and had a solid day of practice yesterday -- maybe. Either way, bettors should not expect this to be one of New Orleans' highest scoring games. Two hundred twenty-nine points is too many when facing a terrible team like the Lakers.

New Orleans Pelicans vs. Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
The Lakers are supposed to be a top team in the West, but at the moment, they are at the bottom. The only team doing worse than them are the Houston Rockets, and that's simply due to the fact that they have played more games. If the Lakers don't correct things quickly, they will have no chance of recovery.
Their win against Denver might have been just what they needed to get things rolling on the right track, so hopefully, they can bust out a few more wins in the coming games.
Los Angeles (+140) & Under 228.5 (-110)
