The Lakers, especially LeBron James, are angry after losing a controversial, 105-102, game to the Clippers this past Friday. The Lakers are angry about how their season is going so far.

I want an angry James going for me at home against New Orleans. The Pelicans are an up-and-coming team, but they enter this matchup fat-and-happy after ending the Suns' eight-game win streak with a 117-102 upset win this past Friday.

The Lakers are 8-2 ATS following a loss. The Pelicans are 0-4-1 ATS the last five times playing the Lakers in LA.
