Los Angeles Lakers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
The Brooklyn Nets meet the LA Lakers at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles for this Sunday night NBA clash. The Lakers nightmare season continues as their latest 120-114 loss to the Kings on Friday tallied yet another loss to their 2-10 record, putting them 14th in the Western Conference and just a half game better than the lowly Rockets. On the other side, the Nets look to have turned a corner since the firing of previous head coach Steve Nash after a 110-95 win over the Clippers moved their record to 6-7 on the year and made it two straight wins.

Los Angeles Lakers - Brooklyn Nets: Form Analysis
Brooklyn’s win against the Lakers’ city rivals is now their second straight and third since the head coach switch. Jacque Vaughn has overseen a 3-1 start to his Nets coaching career with the Nets also going 4-0 against the spread during this time. The team has looked a more cohesive unit overall, with their dramatically improved defensive performances the most striking difference when compared to the beginning of the season. They come into this game as the road favorites against a Lakers team that already looks to be out of the playoff picture, despite it being roughly only 12 games into this season. LA has now lost five games in a row and are 2-5 at home this season.

Los Angeles Lakers & Brooklyn Nets Squad Analysis
LeBron James is set to miss out on this game for the Lakers after missing two of the last three outings including the most recent loss to the Kings. The hosts will now have to depend on Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook to carry the majority of the load as there is a severe lack of depth in this Lakers squad. The visiting Nets and superstar Kevin Durant continue to tick along with the 34-year-old having another fantastic season. KD is averaging over 30 points per game for only the third time in his career on his usual extremely efficient shooting. Brooklyn will be without Kyrie Irving for this one as the point guard has yet to return since being suspended by the team.
Los Angeles Lakers - Brooklyn Nets Key Points
- Since the head coach switch, the Nets rank first in the entire NBA in defensive rating at 98.3 compared to second to last at 119.1 under Nash.
- The Lakers have the worst against the spread record in the league at 2-10 while the Nets have covered four straight games.
- The Lakers rank dead-last in both three-point percentage, shooting 30% from deep, and offensive efficiency this season.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
We’re going to back the Brooklyn Nets to win this game and cover the -3 point spread. It’s simply not possible to take this Lakers team at the moment with how the offense is performing, especially without their best player and chief facilitator in LeBron James. The Nets, meanwhile, have looked like a completely rejuvenated team in recent weeks with the appointment of Jacque Vaughn and without the locker room distraction of Kyrie Irving. With a new-found intensity on the defensive side and Kevin Durant leading the offense, back Brooklyn to make it six straight losses for LA.
