Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers will go head-to-head with the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night. LA is off to an 8-4 start in 2024-25, and Davis is playing at an MVP-caliber level. However, the Lakers star is dealing with an injury.

The New Orleans and Los Angeles Lakers both face off in a back-to-back tonight after both teams narrowly won their first games of the NBA cup. Since it's a back-to-back, there are some questions on who is going to play on either side.

Davis has a season-high 40 points, LeBron James records his fourth consecutive triple-double and the Lakers begin defense of their tournament title with a 120-115 road win over Victor Wembanyama
