Smart Game Analysis
Los Angeles Lakers has a 88% chance of winning the game
The Lakers are poised for a dominant victory given their six-game winning streak, elite offensive production from Doncic and Reaves, and the Pelicans' depleted roster playing on a back-to-back.
Key Analysis
- • New Orleans is at a severe rest disadvantage, playing the second leg of a back-to-back after a loss to Golden State yesterday.
- • The Pelicans are decimated by injuries, missing starters Dejounte Murray and Herbert Jones, with Zion Williamson likely out for injury management.
- • Luka Dončić (35.1 PPG) and Austin Reaves (averaging 38.0 PPG in his last 10 games) provide an overwhelming offensive advantage for Los Angeles.
- • Los Angeles ranks 6th in offensive rating (118.1) and 1st in field goal percentage (51.4%), while New Orleans struggles with the 27th-ranked offense.
- • The Lakers have won six consecutive games and defeated the Pelicans by 14 points in their previous meeting earlier this month.
- • To remain competitive, the Pelicans must fix a perimeter defense that allows opponents to make 15.2 three-pointers per game.
