New Orleans Pelicansvs Los Angeles Lakers: Storylines

Even though they still had a chance to make the play-in tournament, the New Orleans Pelicans threw in the towel and shut down most of their stars for the remainder of the season, focusing on the NBA Draft and free agency.

The Los Angeles Lakers, on the other hand, have gutted out wins without LeBron James for most of the past couple of months, and it’s now crucial for them to get The King back in game shape before the start of the playoffs.
