The New Orleans Pelicans and Los Angeles Lakers will both be missing key players in tonight’s matchup, which could be a good thing for bettors.
The Lakers will be without both LeBron James and Anthony Davis, while the Pelicans will be missing Lonzo Ball and J.J. Redick, though I doubt they will really be “missing” Redick.
This has led to the Pelicans actually being six point favorites vs. the Lakers, which is not something I would have expected just a few weeks ago.
