This is a good spot for the Lakers, as they had 3 days off to rest and prepare for this game, while the Pelicans are returning home after a road trip. New Orleans has been playing at an incredible fast pace, trying to outscore their opponents and they've been often running out of gas late on their games. On this style, the Lakers are a very dangerous team, as they have plenty of quick and athletic players, something that the Pelicans' backcourt lacks. I expect the Lakers to be very competitive tonight, in an incredible fast paced game and so, I'll be taking both the Lakers and the Over tonight.
