Los Angeles Lakers vs Brooklyn Nets Analysis
Los Angeles Lakers seemed to be defining its season by its 2-10 season start. The Lakers were heading towards one of the worst franchise campaigns in history. To get back on track, they won eight of the next ten games. They lost nine of the next 13 games, continuing their inconsistent start to this season. Since then, the Lakers have been somewhat more consistent with their record of 9-6 in 15 games. The Lakers are coming off a devastating loss against Boston on Saturday in overtime. Star LeBron James appeared fouled on the last play of regulation. However, the refs missed it and Boston won the extra session.
Brooklyn started slow this season, winning only two of the first eight games. From the end of November through the beginning of January, the Nets were the most popular team in the NBA. They went 16-1 during that 17-game stretch. Their recent struggles can be attributed to Kevin Durant’s knee injury. The Nets are now 3-6 without Durant after he has been out for three weeks. Brooklyn won its second consecutive game against New York with a 122-115 victory on Saturday. Kyrie Irving played another great game. He scored 32 points and had nine assists.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Brooklyn Free Pick
Los Angeles will be motivated to win this game after Saturday’s emotional loss to Boston. Due to Davis’s return, they are underrated in NBA betting sites today. He is clearly more influential than the odds allow for. Los Angeles has covered the spread in four out of five games and has gone 5-0-1 ATS over its six road games. Brooklyn relies almost entirely on Irving to win games at the moment, which has resulted in the Nets going 3-3 in their nine games following Durant’s injury.
Free Pick: Los Angeles Lakers -1 (-119)
