The Lakers continue to impress out West. LeBron is playin as much and as well as ever and when this team gets going it can really score on folks. They might not be elite but their record is not far off.
The Nets are more than willing to get into a shooting match with any opponent. They win some of them but even when they don’t they are kind of exciting.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers just got spanked at Washington but they have won seven of their last ten and there is nor reason to think there is a big fade coming on. This team seems to be established as good and who knows what might happen in the playoffs.

They do have some injury concerns heading into this one though. Rajon Rondo has been out for a while and will be joined by a couple of key rotation players, Jevale McGee who is questionable and Brandon Ingram who is out. This will really test their depth.
It might have been a blowout loss but Kentavious Caldwell-Pope led the Lakers in scoring. He has proven in the past that he can be a reliable scorer and they are going to need him to pick up some of the production lost by Ingram’s injury.

The same goes for Tyson Chandler who the Lakers acquired to give them more toughness and rebounding. With McGee dinged up he has to be productive when on the floor.
Of course LeBron James leads the way. He had a season low 13 points against the Wizards. He has been Superman for his new team and when he struggles it is hard for the team to overcome that. It does not happen very often though.
Brooklyn Nets
The Nets are playing good ball right now, winning five in a row. It started with an OT win over Toronto and they have carried that momentum with them. They have been scoring a ton of points lately including 144 in a wild win over Atlanta in their last game.
I have never liked the game of D’Angelo Russell. He should not have been drafted where he was and four years into his career I am not sure he is much better than when he has started. He does have his game though and the team finally parlayed one of them into a win last time out when he had 32 against the Hawks. In every other game where he had topped 30 points this season the team had lost.

The one thing I do like about the Nets is they are a team that goes with the hot hand. Spencer Dinwiddie scored 39 points the other day. When they find something that is working they go to it and they are always mixing and matching their lineups it seems. They are not great but they are very competitive.

Free Los Angeles Lakers vs. Brooklyn Nets NBA Prediction:
This will be an interesting number when it gets released. The Lakers are the better team but Brooklyn is in better form.
I think the brand will win the day and the Lakers will be a road favorite. As much about predicted market effects as anything else.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Lakers -2
Look for L.A. to cool off the Nets. Russell might go off against his former team but it won’t be enough to stymie LeBron and Co.
