Sunday, January 30th, finds the Los Angeles Lakers facing the Atlanta Hawks for the second and final time this season. The Lakers won the initial match on February 7th with a score of 134-118.
Both teams last played on Friday with the Lakers losing 114-117 to the Hornets while the Hawks’ win-streak grew to six in a row with a 108-92 victory versus the Celtics.
Last season the clubs played twice with the teams splitting each winning on the road. The Lakers hold the all-time record with 194 wins in 335 matches versus the Hawks.
Los Angeles Lakers
Although Anthony Davis made his return this week after missing 17 games due to an MCL sprain and appeared in two games (Nets/76ers) he was out again versus the Hornets after injuring his wrist on a dunk in Philly.
LeBron James was also out which left all the heavy lifting on Russell Westbrook’s shoulders and he did an admirable job as the primary scorer posting 35 points on 12 of 23 including hitting three deep balls of his seven attempts.
Even missing their two stars the Lakers were in the match simply because the Hornets employed their optional defensive strategy in this match. It’s something they’ll need to correct if they want to be a factor in the postseason should they make it there.
LA is now 3-7 in their 10 matches with wins versus the Jazz, Magic, and Nets. This is the last game of a six-game road trip for the Lakers who’ll play six of their next eight at home but face some stiff competition with the Bucks, Warriors, Jazz, and Mavericks in that segment.
Malik Monk was upgraded to probable, Davis (wrist) is questionable while LeBron (knee) was downgraded to out. Sekou Doumbouya (quarantine) and Kendrick Nunn (knee) are out indefinitely.
Atlanta Hawks
Trae Young is getting credited for calling out his team to play better defense which is almost comical given his defensive chops or lack thereof. There’s also a major narrative stating Atlanta improved because Cam Reddish left.
The latter is a bit befuddling because it’s implying Reddish was a significant negative influence in the Hawks locker room as well as on the hardwood. We’ll have to keep an eye for how he fares in New York although he’s not logging significant minutes thus far.
During the six-game win streak, the Hawks are averaging 117.8 points per game while allowing opponents 105.2 points – – a differential of 12.6 points.
Trae Young (hip) and DeAndre Hunter (ankle) are both questionable for Sunday.

Free Los Angeles Lakers vs. Atlanta Hawks NBA Prediction:
This will be a true litmus test for both clubs as the Lakers are two games below .500 and the Hawks attempt to push the win-streak to seven in a row.
Without LeBron, it favors the Hawks although it wouldn’t be surprising if Jame suits up so watch for him to try to give it a go as he did prior to the Hornets match.
