This is a huge boost for New Orleans, as Williamson is averaging 21.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game this season.
The Lakers will certainly have their hands full with the 20-year-old phenom, but Anthony Davis will likely draw the assignment on Williamson.
The Lakers are 10-3 on the season and in the midst of a four-game winning streak.
While Williamson and former Laker Brandon Ingram will be a tough matchup, Los Angeles is rolling right now.
The Lakers and Pelicans will tip off at 7 p.m. PST on Friday.
