LiontipsLakers vs New Orleans. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
An All-Star break didn't affect the Lakers' performance. Frank Vogel's men are looking inconsistent. They suffered a defeat in the latest match. This time, Lakers were beaten by the Clippers (102:105).
Lakers are in a difficult situation at the West. Los Angeles team is currently at the 9th position, but it won't be easy for them to hold it. Lakers are only three victories away from the 11th-placed New Orleans.
The acquisition of C.J. McCollum was surely the right move. A former Portland player became the leader of the Pelicans. In the latest match he scored 32 points. He helped New Orleans to record a 117:102 victory over Phoenix.
Now Pelicans have a great opportunity to get into the Top-10. Louisiana team is currently at the 11th spot in the Western Conference, only one game shy of the 10th position. A victory in the next match can improve team's chances for an eventual success.
