The Los Angeles Lakers take on the New Orleans Pelicans tonight in a Western Conference clash. Anthony Davis will be playing against his former team. Both he and LeBron James have been in good form, as they’ve led the Lakers to the best record in the NBA at 10-3.

The Pelicans, on the other hand, have fallen off from their strong start to the season. The Pelicans currently have a 4-6 record and are on a four-game losing streak. However, the team does have a lot of potential with the young core of Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and Zion Williamson. If those three players perform well, they will provide a tough challenge for the Lakers.

With that in mind, take a look at the Lakers game against the Pelicans.
