Lakers vs Pelicans Same Game Parlay Picks

Numbers matter when the Lakers visit Smoothie King Center on January 6th for an NBA tilt. Los Angeles has outpaced the spread in every one of their last five matchups with New Orleans. The Pelicans, meanwhile, found themselves below 110 points in three of those showdowns. Recent head-to-head data shapes expectations more than any reputation or rivalry angle this week. This game’s context yields multiple angles for NBA same game parlay picks.

• Leg 1: Los Angeles Lakers -5.5 - Point Spread 
• Leg 2: Los Angeles Lakers Over 126.5 - Team Total

This combination targets a dominant Lakers performance and limits New Orleans’ production based on past meetings. The point spread leans into Los Angeles’ historical edge against the Pelicans at this venue. Aligning both team total lines maximizes value from low-scoring trends by New Orleans and high outputs from LA’s offense.

Leg 1: Los Angeles Lakers -5.5 - Point Spread 

Los Angeles enters favored after covering spreads against New Orleans repeatedly across five straight meetings. Their ability to control tempo late in games has made them formidable in closing out leads versus these opponents specifically. With spread results mirroring lineup consistency lately, there is little reason to expect regression now, given personnel health updates before tipoff remain steady for both squads.

Leg 2: Los Angeles Lakers Over 126.5 - Team Total

Scoring hasn’t been elusive for Los Angeles when sharing court time with the Pelicans—118 points or higher four times over their previous five encounters underscores that trend clearly enough to target another offensive surge here if rotations hold up as projected entering Saturday night action.
