It’s Friday, January 17th, and the Brooklyn Nets (14-27) and Los Angeles Lakers (21-17) are set to come out of Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
The Lakers have won four of their last five home games against teams with losing records and face a Nets team that has lost eight of their last 10. However, these two tend to accumulate points, so getting the OVER in the total points market might be the way to go.
The Nets are currently 9-15 on the road after a humiliating 126-67 drubbing at the hands of the Clippers a couple of nights ago. The Lakers are 6-4 in their last ten home games, including a 117-108 win over the Heat on Wednesday night.
We’ve got all the information and analysis you need to know ahead of the game, including the latest on how to catch the tip, odds, recent team performance, player stats and of course our predictions, picks and best bets for the game from our modeling tools and our team of experts.
