Lakers Vs. Pelicans Preview: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Makes Debut As L.A. Goes For Second Straight Win

After a rough season opener in which they were blown out by the Clippers, the Los Angeles Lakers bounced back Friday night to beat the Phoenix Suns 132-130 on the road.

The Lakers saw brilliant games from their two young stars in Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram, leaving Laker fans very excited about what is to come in the future with their young core.

Los Angeles’ starting lineup will be bolstered Sunday night when they host the New Orleans Pelicans by the return of shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who missed the first two games due to a DUI suspension.
