Dennis Schroder – (Los Angeles Lakers)

The Los Angeles Lakers set a franchise record by winning their first seven road games this season. However, they haven’t been as consistent at home.

The New Orleans Pelicans, who have lost four in a row, will have their work cut out for them going up against the defending NBA Champions.

New Orleans Pelicans

They New Orleans Pelicans played without three of their top players, Zion Williamson (health & safety), Lonzo Ball (knee) and Eric Bledsoe (eye) in a 111-106 loss to the LA Clippers on Wednesday. Williamson has been cleared and is in the lineup tonight.

In the game against the Clippers, Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored a career-high 37 points going 15-for-23 from the floor. He also grabbed eight rebounds in his first start this season.

“He was fantastic,” Pelicans coach Stan Van Gundy said.

“I think early on I tried to let it come to me. As the flow of the game went, I was just kind of riding its wave, figuring out where to assert myself at. Everything’s easier when you compete, so I was just playing to win and it just started to come.” – Alexander-Walker

The Lakers pounded the Oklahoma City Thunder 128-99 on Wednesday. As a result, they remain the leagues only unbeaten road team. Now they look to improve upon a dubious Home 3-3 record.

Against the Thunder, LeBron James had 26 points, seven assists and six rebounds leading to his team’s fourth straight win. Six other Lakers scored in double figures, including Dennis Schroder who chipped in 14 points, five assists and five rebounds.

“I think we’re putting the pressure on (opponents’) main guys, especially with (Davis), LeBron and Marc Gasol in the paint,” Schroder said. “We try to send them as much as possible to the paint. Just being aggressive on them.”
