The Pelicans face the Lakers tonight in an NBA play-in tournament game. New Orleans had a chance to avoid the play-in tournament but lost to Los Angeles on Sunday. Coach Willie Green says they can’t let that game impact what happens tonight at 6:30 in the Smoothie King Center…
Cut 16 (16) “…back after it”
Expect Brandon Ingram to play more tonight after playing 23 minutes on Sunday in his first game back in 3 1/2 weeks. Also Green wants a more aggressive Zion Williamson after scoring just 12 points on Sunday.

Former LSU star Angel Reese is now a member of the Chicago Sky in the WNBA. Reese was the seventh overall pick in last night’s draft and Caitlin Clark will be a division rival as she went number one overall to the Indiana Fever.
