Pelicans Injury Report: Anthony Davis (back) is listed as day-to-day and will be a game time decision for the game against the Lakers. Quincy Pondexter (knee) is out and will be having surgery later this month.

The New Orleans Pelicans have been plagued with injuries all season. The Advocate reports that "New Orleans has played extended stretches this season without Tyreke Evans and Norris Cole. It has gone games at a time with Alexis Ajinca or Omer Asik sidelined. There have been nights when Jrue Holiday couldn't go, and Quincy Pondexter still hasn't played a game - and the team confirmed Monday that he won't play at all this season." Fortunately for the Pelicans, the Lakers aren't much better off when it comes to injuries, and the Lakers have played dismally at home this season.
The Los Angeles Lakers, currently on a four game losing streak, no doubt hope home-court advantage will be to their benefit, but they still haven't performed well even while in LA. There's not a lot going for the team right now, with several key players injured and questionable for tonight's game.
Overall, while neither team is likely to play a great game tonight, it's more likely that the Pelicans will beat the Lakers than lose to them.
