This is simply a case of believing the spread is a bit too high, and the fact the Lakers have been much worse at home this season (2-6 ATS past eight at home dating to last season; all three SU losses there this year) than on the road (unbeaten SU). Hey, LeBron James and Anthony Davis are both listed as questionable! I'm quite sure they play. The Pels will have Zion Williamson back from a one-game absence, may get back Eric Bledsoe but won't have former Laker Lonzo Ball. (see news feed story) Still, New Orleans can hang within single digits as Zion, Brandon Ingram & Co. will be fired up to face the champs for the first time.
