The Los Angeles Lakers (41-33) take on the Brooklyn Nets (29-45). The Lakers are coming off a bad loss to the Pacers, but overall, they have looked much improved compared to other parts of the season. Meanwhile, the Nets, to the shock of some, are on a three-game winning streak. Additionally, the Nets won their first matchup against the Lakers earlier in the year.
But could you see Brooklyn pulling off the win against Los Angeles at home on Sunday?

Los Angeles Lakers
Los Angeles Is led in scoring by LeBron James. He averages 25.2 points per game. Additionally, Anthony Davis leads the team in rebounding. He has 12.7 rebounds per game. The duo is often listed on the injury report, but more likely than not, they should be good to go for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Brooklyn Nets.

Game Prediction
This is the type of game where Los Angeles will look to send a message. Yes, the Brooklyn Nets are playing better and are on a winning streak, but that comes to an end tomorrow. Assuming there aren’t any setbacks with the two main stars, this should be an easy win for the visitors. Therefore, I’m taking the Los Angeles Lakers to not only win but also cover the spread.
Final Pick
Los Angeles Lakers -5
