Los Angeles comes off a huge victory over Boston on Sunday. The Lakers look to carry that momentum into tonight's game against the suddenly very competitive Pelicans, who have won five of their last six games. However, most of those victories were against non-playoff contenders while the Lakers are on a current five-game winning streak. LeBron James scored 29 points and hit a go-ahead fallaway jumper with 30 seconds left against the Celtics and Anthony Davis had 32 points and 13 rebounds. Zion Williamson had 28 points in New Orleans' 115-101 win over Golden State. Los Angeles has won both meetings this season, including 123-113 at home on Jan. 3. Davis will have extra incentive tonight in playing against his former team. Lay the points with the Lakers.
