The Los Angeles Lakers visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers are coming off a frustrating and somewhat controversial 108-106 loss on Saturday to the Minnesota Timberwolves. They have a disappointing 17-16 record and are clinging to ninth place in the Western Conference, and they badly need to start stringing together wins on a consistent basis.
New Orleans is in seventh place at 18-14, and for once, it has been relatively healthy lately. It has lost three of its last five games, but with CJ McCollum, Zion Williamson and former Laker Brandon Ingram all averaging over 19 points a game, it is a dangerous squad.
The last time these two teams played was on Dec. 7 in the in-season tournament semifinal game. The Lakers completely dominated the Pelicans in that matchup to the tune of a 133-89 decision.
