Los Angeles Lakers Betting Preview

The Lakers are currently third in the Western Conference and just had their eight-game win streak snapped with a recent loss. This was a 111-101 outing against the Boston Celtics.

Los Angeles had a quality opportunity to win this game, but lost the third quarter with a 29-13 performance that turned this game in Boston’s favor. Luka Doncic led with 34 points and LeBron James had 22 points, 14 rebounds, and nine assists.

The Celtics made 47.6 percent of their field goals and 34.2 percent from three. The Lakers compiled 44.8 percent of their shots and 35.0 percent from deep. One key area that separated both teams was free throws, as the Lakers made nine while the Celtics made 18.

The Lakers are currently 18th in the league when they are putting up 112.9 points a game. Their defense is allowing 111.1 points a game from opposing teams, ranking eighth. LeBron James is out at least a week and Luka Doncic is listed as a game time decision, which are both going to affect the outcome of this game.

Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview

The Nets have lost their last seven games and need to stop the bleeding. Their recent defeat was a 105-102 performance against the Charlotte Hornets. This was also their second consecutive loss of three points or less.

Brooklyn should have won this battle, especially since they allowed the Hornets to go on a 12-0 run to end the game. D’Angelo Russell led the team with 28 points, six rebounds, and seven assists. Despite having a strong second quarter, the Nets lost in both the third and fourth quarters to give this to the Hornets.

The Hornets made 40.8 percent of their field goals and 32.4 percent from beyond the arc. While the Nets made 46.3 percent of their shots, they took 50 shot attempts from deep and only made 28.0 percent of them. The Nets also gave it up 13 times and allowed the Hornets to score 21 points on those turnovers.

The Nets are accumulating 105.1 points per game, which ranks 29th for this output. Their defense is allowing 111.6 points per matchup, resulting in a 10th-place for the rankings. This does not give them a good opportunity to win games at this rate.
