I want the Lakers to beat the Pelicans tonight to secure the #7 seed and face the Nuggets. Even though the Lakers lost their four matchups against the Nuggets, games 2, 3, and 4 were all close! It’s ridiculous that I’ve been hearing people think they should intentionally lose to…

Anthony Davis went back to the locker room after an apparent injury.

Oh Play-In Predictions: Lakers > Pelicans Warriors > Kings Warriors > Pelicans Sixers > Heat Bulls > Hawks Heat > Bulls

The Pelicans have been awesome all year long, except for nationally televised games against the Lakers. Can Zion totally redeem himself by sending the LeBron and co. one game away from Cancun? (@fanatics x @fanaticsbook_pb) #nba #Pelicans #LakeShow

Pelicans coach Willie Green on Anthony Davis as the clear and obvious defensive key for the Lakers: “They tend to funnel everything to him, and he’s elite.”

Lakers/Pelicans Bets for tonight: Pelicans ML $345 wins $300 Zion O6.5 Boards $250 wins 200 Zion Double Double +235 $60 Zion Triple Double +2500 $15 If Zion sells this game I will DoorDash him a couple dozens of donuts

I will back the Lakers every time, but I’m conflicted today. If we win today in the #NBAPlayINTournament, we secure the #7 seed and have to play the Nuggets in the first round of the #NBAPlayoffs. If we lose today, we have a chance to secure the #8 seed and can go on to play OKC

Lakers should avoid Nuggets too early in the play-offs which means...losing now and winning later. Otherwise, it’s early showers.

No, the Lakers should not lose tonight to avoid Denver. It's a one game scenario and losing on purpose guarantees you nothing. This is stupid.

Anthony Davis getting some work in before Lakers - Pelicans 👀 He is currently listed as questionable with back spasms. (via @mcten)

Excited to watch the Lakers-Pelicans game tonight… 🏀

I’m not saying the Lakers would beat the Nuggets but last year’s games were actually pretty close and LeBron wasn’t shooting 40+ % from 3. Having two feet might help. I think they’d probably lose but Jamal Murray will have to shoot out of his mind again.
