Meanwhile, the Pelicans will be looking to stop the bleeding, as they've dropped seven straight games and currently sit dead last in the Western Conference standings.
The good news for the Lakers is that star forward LeBron James isn't listed on the official injury report for the contest, indicating that he'll be good to go for the matchup, which is the first night of a back-to-back for the Lakers, as they also play the Spurs in San Antonio on Wednesday night.
James' early-season injury issues seem to be behind him. After missing 16 of L.A.'s first 22 games, James has appeared in 11 straight games. The contest against the Pelicans will be the 12th.

On the season, James is averaging 21.2 points, 6.7 assists and 5.2 rebounds in 33.4 minutes per performance.
The matchup between Los Angeles and New Orleans will already be the thi rd of the season between the two teams. The Lakers previously bested the Pelicans twice in November. The teams will also meet again in L.A. in early March.
While James will play on Tuesday night, L.A. will still be without a few rotation pieces. Austin Reaves (calf), Rui Hachimura (calf) and Adou Thiero (knee) have all been ruled out of the game. Gabe Vincent, who hasn't played since Dec. 14 due to back strain, is listed as questionable.
