Shorthanded LA Lakers travel to Brooklyn to meet with the Nets.
Before betting on the Lakers vs. Nets
First and the most important thing is that LeBron and Anthony Davis aren’t playing tonight. These two guys are out, but we still want to cover this event. The Lakers are coming off an OT loss against the Celtics in Boston, 125-121.
The purple and the gold weren’t happy due to officiating, especially James, who was furious due to several decisions that directly affected him. LBJ had one hell of a game in Boston, with 41 points, eight assists, and nine boards, while AD scored 16 and added 10 boards off the bench.
The Nets are without Kevin Durant and they fight bravely. Kyrie took over the leadership, and his crew posts wins and losses in waves – losing two, then winning two, then again suffering two defeats, before breaking that streak with a win over the New York Knicks, 122-115.
Kyrie scored 32 points and had nine assists and six boards. Joe Harris added 16, while Nic Claxton ended the night with 13 points and 12 rebounds. The Nets made 22 threes in 40 attempts and had 53% of shooting overall.
