With the No.3 seed in the West already secured, the Los Angeles Lakers will try to finish their regular-season campaign strong as they host the Portland Trail Blazers at Crypto.com Arena on Sunday.

The Lakers gained home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs after blasting the heavily undermanned Houston Rockets on Friday, 140-109. Luka Doncic busted out another impressive all-around game with 39 points, eight rebounds and seven assists to lead the Lakers, who faces the possibility of playing the first few games of the playoffs without LeBron James because of a groin injury.

The Trail Blazers will try to close out a season full of promise on a high note after losing three of their last four games. The Blazers will miss the playoffs but they are in position to return to relevancy next year with Anfernee Simmons, Deni Avdija and other young players on the roster showing promise in some of their games this season.

Los Angeles Lakers - Portland Trail Blazers Key Points

  1. Bronny James is booked at Over/Under 10.5 Points at FanDuel
  2. Bronny James scored a career-high 17 points vs. the Bucks on March 17.
  3. The Lakers will not play LeBron James, Luka Donci, and other key players in the final game of the regular-season.
  4. The Blazers will not play their key players in the final game of the regular season.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

Prediction: No Luka, No LeBron, No Reeves, big opportunity for Bronny James to cover a point spread.

I believe we will see a career night for Bronny James, who will have plenty of playing time on Sunday with Luka Doncic, Austin Reeves, and his father LeBron sitting out. James already set a career-high almost a month ago when he dropped 17 in a blowout loss to the Bucks 89-118 on March 17. Expect head coach JJ Reddick to play Bronny James for more than 30 minutes, giving him the opportunity to re-set his career high against the Blazers, who will also dispatch their bench warmers in an irrelevant game at the end of the season. Our betting prediction for Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers: Bronny James Over 10.5 Points

Prediction:
