Los Angeles Lakers (38-21) will host one of the league-worsts, New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. LeBron James is chasing the 50,000 career-point milestone in this game. The veteran guard fell short of just one point to reach the glorious mark.

Lakers’ fortune has been changed since trading Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic. Los Angeles are sitting second in the Western Conference, thanks to a fourth straight win at home. The Lakers are on a six-game homestand and remained unbeaten so far.

On the flip note, the New Orleans have a toughest task on Tuesday. The Pelicans enter the fixture with a 128-121 win against the Jazz. They are 4-1 in their last five and dropped only one game in current four-game road-trip. The recent improvement might be an alarming sign for the Lakers.
