What I do know is that a victory would mean finishing the season 14 games over .500, the highest mark since 2014-2015. Must win game.
I think a Lakers victory over the Pelicans tonight is very likely.
If the Lakers do beat the Pelicans, then the outcome of the Mavs vs. Timberwolves game has no bearing on anything.
(I also think the Blazers will probably beat the Nuggets, and the Clippers will probably beat the Thunder. So ... say hello to Lakers vs. Warriors, Blazers vs. Clippers, and Mavs vs. Nuggets!)
