The Nets have not fared much better lately. They also lost on Monday, falling 122-118 in Houston. It was their fifth loss in the last six games. Brooklyn is only one spot out of dead last in the East.
Los Angeles Lakers
As impressive as the Lakers were to start 2016, they have been that bad over the last few games.

Injuries have played a large role in their troubles, but they did not seem to improve much after getting D’Angelo Russel back on Sunday. This would be a good opportunity for them to get back on track and perhaps regain some momentum.

Brooklyn Nets
The Nets have not struggled to put up points this year, but they continue to allow the opposition to score at will. Although he may not improve the defense greatly, the Nets did get Jeremy Lin back from injury on Monday which is big for them.
Lin had missed the last 17 games with a strong hamstring, and Brooklyn hopes his return could help right the ship.

Free Los Angeles Lakers vs. Brooklyn Nets NBA Prediction:
L.A. has been struggling lately, but this is just the opportunity they need to right the ship. They are finally getting healthy and had been good against the Eastern Conference before key players started going down.
Brooklyn wants this win just as much, but their defense will be incapable of slowing down the Lakers.
