This Monday night match-up will see the Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Los Angeles Lakers. Clearly these teams are in opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of talent and it shows by their record.
This will be first of two meetings between these teams this season.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavs got a surprising win over a good Denver last time they took the court. This was a game they won 111-103. Cleveland is now on a two-game winning streak and will be looking to at the very least remain competitive this season.
The Cavaliers have shown life on offense recently, but overall they do not score enough to say the least. They rank 26th in scoring, averaging 105.1 points per game. Over their last three, they are averaging 113 points per game.
As a team, they shoot 45.2% from the field, ranking 18th in the league. As for their three-point shooting, they rank 24th at 34.2%.
Collin Sexton is one of the lone bright spots for this team and leads them in scoring by averaging 18.7 points per game. Other notable players on this team include Kevin Love. He is averaging a double-double with 16.9 points per game and 10.3 boards per game. Also, Tristan Thompson is averaging a double-double as well with 13 points per game and 10.6 rebounds per game.
It will be crucial for the Cavs to start fast because if they do not, it will likely be a long night.

Defensively, the Cavs have not been able to stop many teams. They allow 113.3 points per game. Their main problem has to do with the fact that their opponents are shooting 48.3% from the field.
The only hope the Cavs have to slow down the Lakers is if some guys are missing in the lineup due to injury. Otherwise, I expect Los Angeles to run up the score.
Los Angeles Lakers
On the other side of this matchup is the Los Angeles Lakers have now won eight games in a row. They remain as the top seed in the Western Conference, but the injuries are starting to pile up which is a terrible sign.
For this game specifically, the Lakers have four guys who are listed as questionable. This includes LeBron James (illness), Anthony Davis (spine), Rajon Rondo (finger) and Danny Green (hip). This makes up roughly 61% of their scoring, so losing any of these guys, especially James and Davis would be huge.
Defensively is actually where this Lakers team has dominated throughout the season. They have the 3rd ranked scoring defense an allow 105.2 points per game. Overall, teams shoot 43.7% from the field and 33.4% from the three-point line. Both of the percentages rank 4th in the league.
Specifically at the Staples Center, the Lakers have been even more dominant, which is hard to believe. In home games, they allow 102.7 points per game, while teams shoot 42.6% from the field and 30.8% from deep range.
NBA Betting Trends:
- Under is 40-17-1 in LAL last 58 home games.
Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
Even if the Lakers have to play without some of their stars, they are still the better team and will get another home win.
The Lakers play defense at a different level when at home and I believe the uncertainty of their injured players will slow down them enough offensively to keep the total under.
