The Lakers had an array of injuries in their loss Sunday to the Jazz 86-74.
New Orleans:
The Pelicans haven’t been good this year at all, but they are certainly bad when Davis isn’t in the lineup.
New Orleans has dropped 3 straight overall and fell to 0-4 when Anthony Davis isn’t in the lineup with their loss to Los Angeles on Saturday.

PG Jrue Holiday played his best game and most minutes in Saturday’s loss as he finished with 29 points and 11 rebounds in 36 minutes of action. Holiday really filled the role that Davis usually produces and should still see close to that amount of minutes in this one against Los Angeles.
Holiday missed a lot of time earlier this season as he returned from a leg injury last season. Holiday has really stepped his game up lately as he has averaged 18.8 points per game over the last 4.
New Orleans has won 6 of the last 7 meetings with the Lakers.
Los Angeles
Both Kobe Bryant and D’Angelo Russell sat out Sunday’s game and the Lakers offense looked abysmal. They could be in store for the same fate on Tuesday when they welcome in the Pelicans.
Bryant continues to battle a strained achilles tendon while Russell continues to battle an ankle injury. The Lakers offense produced just 74 points and looked completely out of sync.

After winning three straight games, the Lakers have now dropped 4 in a row after shooting 32% from the field in the loss to the Jazz. Lou Williams had a major setback himself after dropping in 44 against Oklahoma City as he finished just 5 of 17 from the field.
While the Lakers may be without Bryant and Russell, they should receive the services of Brandon Bass back. The Lakers forward had a corneal abrasion in his right eye and missed Sunday’s loss to Utah.
The Lakers are just 4-12 SU this season inside the Staples Center.

Free NBA Prediction:
The Rockets haven’t been kind to bettors when making the trip out to Tennessee. In their last 10 trips there to take on the Grizzlies, Houston has covered the numbers only twice, with the Grizzlies cashing in eight times in that span.
