Pelicans vs Lakers Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game

The New Orleans Pelicans will look to end a two-game losing streak when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers tonight.

Neither defense defends very well from long range, and my Pelicans vs. Lakers predictions expect a big shooting night from downtown for Pelicans guard Jeremiah Fears.

Read on for my NBA picks for Sunday, November 30.

Pelicans vs Lakers prediction

Pelicans vs Lakers best bet: Jeremiah Fears Over 1.5 threes (+158)

Rookie Jeremiah Fears has opened his NBA career in style, particularly from long distance.

The New Orleans Pelicans’ first-round pick out of Oklahoma is shooting 36% on 3.6 three-point attempts per game, and he’s hit at least two threes in three of his last five.

That type of perimeter shooting efficiency will be crucial tonight, as the Pels are heavy underdogs on the road against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers may be playing excellent basketball overall, but they remain vulnerable from the arc, allowing opponents to shoot 36% on 38 threes per game, which ranks just 19th in the league.

We’re getting a strong price on a prop that Fears has already cleared five times this season.
