Brooklyn Nets Form

Brooklyn remain in Los Angeles as they try to bounce back from a brutal loss – their seventh defeat in their nine games.

The Nets opened 2025 with a 130-113 loss in Toronto, and then failed to build on a 113-110 victory in Milwaukee as they lost five straight.

They returned home and failed to break the 100-point barrier in three straight games as they lost 123-94 to Philadelphia, 113-99 to Indiana and 113-98 to Detroit.

Brooklyn then went out on the road to lose 124-105 in Denver and 112-111 in Utah in overtime.

The Nets avoided a sixth straight loss as they won 132-114 in Portland, only to suffer an embarrassing 126-67 defeat to the LA Clippers on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Lakers Form

Los Angeles go into this game looking to build on Wednesday night’s win over Miami, which ended a three-game skid.

The Lakers enjoyed a good run of form in the second half of December as they won five times in a six-game spell, including a 115-113 victory at Golden State on Christmas Day.

They followed up that win with a 132-122 success against Sacramento, and then bounced back from a 122-110 loss to Cleveland with wins over Portland, 114-106, and Atlanta, 119-102.

Los Angeles cooled off after though as they lost three straight, falling 119-115 in Houston, 118-97 in Dallas and 126-102 at home to San Antonio.

The Lakers stopped the rot on Wednesday though, as they took down Miami at home, 117-108.

Verdict

Los Angeles got back to winning ways last time out and we expect them to build on it.

Brooklyn just took a beating at the hands of the Clippers, and while the final score in this one is unlikely to be as harsh, we do expect the Lakers to inflict another defeat on the Nets.
