Los Angeles Lakers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

 by Kennedy Kechula | in NBA Predictions

The in-form Cleveland Cavaliers travel to play the LA Lakers in their next outing in the NBA. They top the Eastern Conference standings whereas the Lakers are seventh in the West. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

The Lakers are in a rich vein of form and will be eager to avenge their early season blowout loss to the Cavs. They have won six times in their last eight matches and are on a two-match winning run.

LA moved to five games above .500 after securing a 132-122 victory over the Kings. LeBron James missed the game due to illness and is doubtful for the Cavs’ visit. The newly-acquired Dorian Finney-Smith could make his Laker debut in this match.

The Cavaliers are having a sensational season. They possess the best record in the NBA and are currently on a seven-match winning streak. Kenny Atkinson’s men have won 28 of 32 matches and have an 11-3 away record.

The Cavs are on a four-match tour of the West. They have defeated the Nuggets and Warriors on this trip and have averaged 131 points in the two games.

Cleveland is coming off a 113-95 victory over the Warriors. Isaac Okoro is ruled out for this match and is the only player on the Cavs’ injury report.
