Lakers vs Nets Pickswise Expert Predictions
Losing LeBron James in the first game of this 4-game road trip is a blow to the Lakers who went into Boston with a lot of momentum, but couldn’t pull out the win. Before they take on the Bucks and Nuggets, they have the easiest game of the trip in Brooklyn on Monday night. Luka Doncic has come into his own lately, scoring 30+ in 4 of his last 5 games, but he too is bothered by a back issue. With James out, I do believe Doncic will play here, otherwise the Lakers are screwed. Upping the tempo is a strategy that should work against the Nets who aren’t exactly the highest of scoring teams in the NBA.
Brooklyn’s defense has taken a tumble over the past couple of weeks or so. Over their last 8 games they rank just 25th in efficiency, allowing 120.2 points per 100 possessions. As a result they’ve lost 7 games in a row, while at home they’re just 4-16 SU in their last 20 outings. Cam Thomas, one of their few reliable scoring options, is out of this game due to a hamstring issue so the Nets could once again face issues scoring the ball. Against Western Conference opponents they’ve won just 3 times in 17 outings, even their home record against the spread isn’t all that good at 13-17 in 30 games played.
The Lakers simply have to win here, going 0-for-2 in the first two games of the trip would be really demoralizing. The race for the 2nd seed is heating up in the Western Conference, you have to beat the bad teams to give yourself the best chance of getting it. I’ll take Luka and co. to cover here.
