The game tips off at 3!
Today against the New Orleans Pelicans, your Los Angeles Lakers have announced their first five. It will be unchanged from Thursday night’s narrow 112-111 victory over the Indiana Pacers: Dennis Schröder and Patrick Beverley will start in the backcourt, while Rui Hachimura, LeBron James and Anthony Davis will lead LA up front.
For the Pelicans, CJ McCollum will run point, surrounded by jumbo-sized comrades elsewhere. Herb Jones will play shooting guard, Trey Murphy will be the team’s starting small forward, ex-Laker Brandon Ingram will play at power forward, and Jonas Valanciunas will serve as NOLA’s starting center.
