The Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans are primed for another clash as they tip-off the 2024 NBA Play-In Tournament on Wednesday, April 17 (Philippine Time) at the Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, LA.
This matchup holds immense weight, as the winner will secure the coveted 7th seed in the Western Conference playoffs, while the loser will get a second chance on Friday night.
The New Orleans Pelicans had their sights set on a higher seed, but a regular-season finale loss to the Lakers sent them tumbling down to the 7th spot. This unfortunate turn of events forces them to participate in the play-in tournament, where they'll face their recent tormentors once again.
The Lakers boast a dominant record against the Pelicans this season, winning three out of their four encounters. This dominance includes a staggering 44-point victory in the NBA In-Season tournament and a convincing 124-108 win on the last day of the regular season.
The stakes couldn't be higher for both teams. The winner of this pivotal matchup will advance to face the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs. However, the loser isn't eliminated just yet. They'll have one more shot at playoff glory, facing either the Golden State Warriors or the Sacramento Kings.
All eyes will be on LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who are expected to lead the Lakers' charge. Their experience and talent will be crucial in overcoming the Pelicans once again.
Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram will shoulder the responsibility of leading the Pelicans to victory. If they can overcome the mental hurdle of their recent losses to the Lakers and showcase their offensive firepower, an upset could be brewing in New Orleans.
