Vegas Play of the Day: Los Angeles Lakers at New Orleans Pelicans

Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

New Orleans Pelicans minus-10½ against Los Angeles Lakers: $330 to win $300

The Lakers are on fire, at least from a betting perspective, going 4-1 against the spread in their last five. Sure, Los Angeles has only won once this year, but their losing close enough that it counts. That takes a break tonight.

The Pelicans enter the game from an off day that followed road trips to San Antonio and Cleveland (New Orleans went 1-1). They more than held their own in those games, and now they’re back home to face a Lakers team playing for the second straight night. I’m expecting a laugher.

Standings: Bern (54-46-1, $12,056), Keefer (45-56-1, $6,431), Brewer (45-53-3, $3,705)
