New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers 2/15/2023 Picks

New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers 2/15/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

In a Western Conference match-up, the New Orleans Pelicans are set to take on the Los Angeles Lakers this Wednesday at Crypto.com Arena.

Currently holding the seventh seed in the conference, the Pelicans are boasting a respectable 30-28 record.

After narrowly defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 103-100 on Monday, the Pelicans will be looking to build momentum, with Brandon Ingram leading the way.

The star player put up an impressive 34 points, marking his best performance since returning from an injury in November.

Ingram’s recent form is a positive sign for the team, especially since the Pelicans will be without Zion Williamson for multiple weeks.

Ingram’s scoring surge could prove crucial for the Pelicans, who will be hoping to maintain their top seeding in the Western Conference until the return of Williamson.

However, it remains to be seen whether Ingram will be able to sustain his current form, especially if CJ McCollum is unable to play due to his status as a game-time decision.

One key difference between the two teams is the pace of play, with the Pels preferring a slower half-court style, which allows their star scorers to thrive.

New Orleans is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 matches with the LA Lakers.
The Pelicans are 4-1 SU in their last 5 outings against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The New Orleans Pelicans are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games on the road.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers Predictions 2/15/2023

The Lakers hold the thirteenth seed in the West, having a record of 26-32. Los Angeles is coming off of a loss against Portland Monday night 127-115.

This was LeBron’s third consecutive game sidelined due to his ankle injury, as the Lakers didn’t have enough star power to fight off Damian Lillard’s 40-point game.

A couple of “newcomers” had solid nights, Malik Beasley scored 22 points in 21 minutes, connecting on 6-12 3-pointers and D’Angelo Russell added 16 points and 4 assists.

Darvin Ham has a lot to figure out with this newly structured Lakers squad post-trade deadline. It appears LeBron will play this game, as the Lakers should start becoming more desperate in these last couple of months.

Something Darvin Ham should consider is to start Malik Beasley, he’s already their best three-point shooter and that’s something they need in their lineup.

When the Lakers are in full health, they can really hurt teams with their fast-paced game style.

The total stayed UNDER in 4 of the LA Lakers’ last 6 meetings with New Orleans.
The Los Angeles Lakers are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games at home.
The total stayed UNDER in 4 of the LA Lakers’ last 5 games at home against the Pelicans.
