Los Angeles Lakers vs New Orleans Pelicans starting five:

Los Angeles Lakers: Anthony Davis, LeBron James, JaVale McGee, Avery Bradley, Danny Green
New Orleans Pelicans: Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson, Derrick Favors, Jrue Holiday, Lonzo Ball

——————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Grand League tips:

  • LeBron James needs no introduction at all. He has been playing at the top level for the good 15 years or so and still is the player we know he is, despite being 35 years old. He is a phenom, a once-in-a-lifetime player.
  • Anthony Davis is leading the Lakers with 26.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.5 blocks and 1.5 steals per game for the Showtime this season. Do you still need more reasons to make him your super player?
  • Zion Williamson is also a worthy option for the captain. He can be a dominant force on both ends of the court. His offence has been awesome, and he is playing like a seasoned player.
  • Brandon Ingram is the leading scorer for the Pelicans this season with points per game. He will be motivated by the fact that he is facing his former team.
  • Jrue Holiday is an absolute beast and should be considered in both Small League and Grand League teams.
  • Players such as Danny Green, Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope from Lakers and Lonzo Ball, JJ Redick and Josh Hart from Pelicans can be your game changer.
