The Pelicans will tip off in less than an hour against the Los Angeles Lakers, who will be without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and New Orleans will not have the services of Lonzo Ball.
The usual starting point guard will miss his second straight game due to a right hip flexor strain. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely start in Ball’s place once more.
In four starts this season, NAW has compiled averages of 19.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists, shooting 57.4% from the field and 47.8% from 3-point range.
