Betting on the Los Angeles Lakers
- Regular Season Record: 23-26
Although Los Angeles Lakers still have a negative record, they have managed to hold on for a long time without Anthony Davis, who was the team’s best player during the first months of the campaign. Now, with Davis healthy and LeBron James playing at a high level, they are expected to start posting better results.
Davis, who is averaging 27.2 points scored per game, had an immediate impact on the California squad, recording 21 points and 12 rebounds in his return. Indeed, he led a 104-113 win against the Spurs on January 25, and more performances as such will be key to his team’s recovery.
The Lakers have struggled defensively this campaign, but at least they have managed to be a solid offensive team, currently averaging 116.9 points scored per game .
Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
- Regular Season Record: 30-19
Although it hasn’t been easy, the Nets have slowly managed to solve some of the problems caused by Kevin Durant’s absence. They managed to win three of their last five games after four losses in a row following the injury to their star player.
The Brooklyn team will surely appreciate playing at home again, where it has a record of 14-8, and where it defeated the New York Knicks last Sunday with a score of 115-125. This win was also possible thanks to another superb performance by Kyrie Irving, who led the team with 32 points and 9 assists, being one of the five Nets players who scored at least 13 goals.
The 30-year-old point guard has been unerring recently, scoring 30 points or more in his last six appearances, in which he also contributed at least six assists. Irving will be vital to the Nets’ success here, but so will be a defense that has an average of just 110.4 points allowed at home .
JefeBet Prediction
With Davis on the court, the Lakers are a much more competitive team, as they have shown in their most recent game. However, playing away from home is a condition in which they have had many problems this year, leaving a record of 11-14 and a worrying average of 120.8 points allowed.
Moreover, this will not be an easy game for the Los Angeles team, given that although they will be playing without Durant, the Nets have proven to have the necessary skills to cover his absence. Also, the team relies on an inspired Irving, who should not have major difficulties to be productive against a sluggish visiting defense.
With the current level of both teams, this promises to be a very close game from start to finish. But, we expect the Nets, with their solid defense, to earn respect that their home and win the game.
Prediction: Moneyline for the Brooklyn Nets.
