By Joseph Cervantes
Los Angeles Lakers at New Orleans
Date: November 27 at 9:30 EST
This past off-season, Davis was finally granted his wish and traded to the Lakers for a haul of young talent and future picks. This will be Davis’ first visit to New Orleans and should expect a repulsive crowd after he asked to be traded in the middle of last season. On the other hand, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, and Brandon Ingram will look to get its revenge on the Lakers and make them regret the trade. Lebron James will also face off against 2019 No. 1 draft pick Zion Williamson, the 285 lb talented forward who has been compared favorably to the Lakers’ 16-year veteran. Expect full media coverage in what is expected to be one of the most watched games of the season.
