LA Lakers vs Brooklyn Prediction: the Hosts Should Win by a Large Margin

Prediction for the NBA match between LA Lakers vs Brooklyn, which will take place on January 20th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Darvin Ham's team is still not in the Western Conference play-in zone, so every game is essential, especially against rivals the Lakers have beaten in their last two meetings. First, they fought hard against Oklahoma (112-105) and confidently beat Dallas (127-110). Thus, the Lakers have won 50% of their games - 21-21. The Lakers are in tenth place in the West, 3.0 wins behind the top 6.

The Nets are not in the play-in zone in the East - with a record of 16-24. The team is 1.0 wins behind Atlanta, which is in the bottom ten. Brooklyn's current streak is not encouraging - four straight defeats. After losing to Portland 104-106 in their last game, the Nets lost to the Trail Blazers for the second time in this stretch. Brooklyn also lost to Miami and Cleveland, the co-leaders in the East.

The Lakers will beat Brooklyn because they kept tonus and won twice in a row. The Nets have been underperforming lately. But it's unlikely that LeBron and company will win, considering the Lakers are almost unbeaten this season. Let's pick the Lakers to win in a "close" and productive game.
