Stephen Nover's NBA Wednesday Spread Crusher - 29-13 NBA Hot Streak
(NBA) New Orleans vs. LA Lakers, 11/02/2022 10:30 PM, Score: 117 - 120
Point Spread: 3.00 | -105.00 LA Lakers (Home)
Result: Win
How can a team with LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook be that bad at 1-5? Answer: The Lakers aren't that bad. Their early shooting has been off. LA ranks 29th in field goal percentage and last in 3-point accuracy. 

Now I'm not saying the Lakers are ready to join the elites, but they finally have some confidence and momentum after beating the Nuggets, 121-110, at home this past Sunday. The Lakers have had ample time to prepare and be ready to host the Pelicans.

Playing the Pelicans always is a big deal for Davis. He played seven seasons for New Orleans. The Pelicans aren't expected to have Brandon Ingram, their second-best player. 

I don't believe the Lakers should be home underdogs here.
