New Orleans will have much at stake Sunday (2:30 p.m., Bally Sports, ESPN, WRNO 99.5 FM) when it hosts the Los Angeles Lakers in the regular season finale for both teams, needing a win or a Phoenix loss (at Minnesota) to clinch a Western Conference playoff berth and the No. 6 seed. Two Pelicans forwards are listed as questionable, including Brandon Ingram (left knee bone contusion) and Naji Marshall (left shoulder contusion). Ingram last played March 21 at Orlando, while Marshall’s most recent appearance was Thursday at Sacramento.
