(NBA) LA Lakers vs. Brooklyn,
Point Spread: -2.00 | -110.00 LA Lakers (Away)
Result: Win
This is a revenge game for the Lakers and I expect them to get the win over the Nets who will be without Kyrie and Durant. The Nets have won two of their last three games, but they struggled at home in recent games, losing six of their last eight games. They usually play well offensively, but they will have a hard time scoring in this game because they will be without an injured Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, who can’t play at home because of his Vaccination status. are playing better, holding their last three opponents under 110 points per game. They are a very good defensive rebounding team and they do a good job forcing turnovers, which will lead to easy scoring opportunities for Los Angeles. Brooklyn isn't a good defensive team, so I am going with Los Angeles to cover the spread.
