NBA: Sacramento Kings at Los Angeles Lakers

After an emotional victory against the Houston Rockets on Thursday night, the Los Angeles Lakers look to finish the road trip on a high note against the New Orleans Pelicans. With Steve Nash not playing on the second night of back-to-backs, Jodie Meeks is expected to start in his place. While head coach Mike D’Antoni has not announced the starting line-up, Jordan Hill may get the start against Anthony Davis, who is averaging 21.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 4.0 blocks so far this season.

Heading into tonight’s game, will the Lakers have enough energy to win two of three on this road trip?
