*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Monday, March 13th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Tuesday, March 14th
Los Angeles Lakers
Without LeBron James, the Lakers have been performing above expectations but failed to convert on Sunday with the loss to the Knicks. Coinciding with the Pelicans’ victory it pushed LA back under the play-in seeding.
In fact, four teams began the week with identical records of 33-35 — the Lakers, Pelicans, Jazz, and Thunder with the latter two sitting in those last two play-in seeds (although the Jazz loss Monday shifted the seeding positions – see below).
Stats
On the negative side, LA allows opponents to score an average of 117.2 points per game ranking 22nd. Their opponents shoot 46.8% from the field and 34.3% from behind the arc ranking 10th and second respectively.
Another key point, the Lakers score 116.6 points per game which rank eighth-best while shooting 47.9 percent from the field and 34 percent from the perimeter ranking 11th and 26th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- LeBron James SF (OUT—foot)
- Mo Bamba PG (OUT— ankle)
New Orleans Pelicans
Unlike the Lakers, the Pels are reeling having lost seven of their last 10 matches. While LA is benefitting from their recently acquired players upping their depth New Orleans has navigated a season of injuries but with Zion Williamson’s absence has taken a toll.
And that’s what makes the Pelicans’ situation so unique. If Williamson is healthy (along with a good portion of their core) and they get into the play-in this team has the potential to beat one of the elite teams.
Stats
Presently, the Pelicans rank 16th for scoring averaging 114 points per game while shooting 47.8% from the field and 35.6% from the perimeter ranking 12th and 19th respectively.
Defensively, the Pelicans allow opponents to score 113.3 points per game, ranking 15th. New Orleans holds their opponents to 47.5% from the field ranking 17th and boasts the best perimeter opponent ranking 33.9%.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Brandon Ingram, SF (questionable — ankle)
- Zion Williamson, PF (OUT indefinitely — hamstring)
- Jose Alvarado, PG (OUT indefinitely — tibia)
- E.J. Liddell, PF (OUT indefinitely — knee)

Free Los Angeles Lakers vs. New Orleans Pelicans NBA Prediction:
Winning is the priority, especially against teams in the same area of the seeding bracket so expect a playoff-level intensity. Ingram’s availability is the big question mark – if he plays I’m firmly on board for the Pelicans to win and cover, but if you’re hedging and he’s ruled out feel free to shift to the Lakers.
