New Orleans Pelicans vs. LA Lakers Prop Bets - January 15

The New Orleans vs. Lakers line opened at LA -10.

The Lakers pounded the Oklahoma City Thunder 128-99 on Wednesday to remain the NBA's only unbeaten team on the road. But the Lakers, who are an NBA-best 10-3 overall, are 3-3 at home, with losses in two of their past three games at Staples Center.

Against the Thunder, LeBron James had 26 points, seven assists and six rebounds as the Lakers won their fourth straight game. Six Lakers scored in double figures, including Montrezl Harrell, who contributed 21 points and six rebounds off the bench, and Anthony Davis, who collected 18 points and seven rebounds. Dennis Schroder chipped in 14 points, five assists and five rebounds against his former club.

The Pelicans, who have lost four in a row, will have their work cut out for them. They played without three of their top players, Zion Williamson (health and safety protocols), Lonzo Ball (knee) and Eric Bledsoe (eye) in a 111-106 setback to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Williamson has been cleared to play against the Lakers.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored a career-high 37 points against the Clippers on 15-for-23 shooting, including making 5-of-8 3-point attempts, and grabbed eight rebounds in his first start this season. He scored 26 in the second half as the Pelicans rallied from double-digit deficits before fading down the stretch.

"He was fantastic," Pelicans coach Stan Van Gundy said.

Slowing the game sparked the effort, Alexander-Walker said.
