The Los Angeles Lakers closed out the regular season on a high note, which included defeating the New Orleans on the final day.

That set the stage for a rematch in the Play-In Tournament, with the winner advancing to the Western Conference playoffs for a first-round matchup against the Denver Nuggets. The loser of the game remains in the Play-In for a matchup against the winner between Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings.

LeBron James specifically was on sale for a one-time contest entry up to $20.
