Brooklyn Nets at Los Angeles Lakers Preview & Picks

Los Angeles are tipped to cover as they beat Brooklyn.

The Lakers have been solid on the home court and should be too much for a Nets team who are currently stacking up losses.

  • Los Angeles Lakers are 4-1 in their last 5 home games
  • Brooklyn Nets are 1-9 in their last 10 games
  • The Under has hit in 4 of Los Angeles' last 5 home games
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of Brooklyn's last 9 games

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Lakers lead the all-time series 72-29
  • Brooklyn Nets won 121-104 when the two teams last met in January 2023

Brooklyn Nets Form

Brooklyn head to Los Angeles on a miserable run of form, having lost four straight and nine of the last 10.

The Nets ended 2023 with three straight defeats, and that losing run reached five games in early 2024 as they lost 112-85 at New Orleans and 112-101 in Houston.

They stopped the rot with a 124-115 upset of Oklahoma City, but their joy was short-lived.

Brooklyn returned to losing ways with a 134-127 overtime defeat to Portland, which was followed by a 111-102 loss in Cleveland.

The Nets then suffered a 96-95 overtime defeat at home to Miami, before travelling to Portland for a 105-103 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Los Angeles Lakers Form

Los Angeles come into this game looking to build on a couple of home wins they have already recorded this week.

The Lakers wrapped up 2023 with a couple of road defeats, and started 2024 with a couple of home losses too as their skid reached four games.

They avoided a fifth straight defeat with a 106-103 victory over the LA Clippers, and they were able to follow that up with a 132-131 success against Toronto.

Los Angeles failed to make it three-in-a-row as they were beaten 127-109 by Phoenix, and they were then beaten 132-125 in Utah.

The Lakers have not lost since though, following up a 112-105 win against Oklahoma City with a 127-110 victory over Dallas.

Verdict

Los Angeles have won their last couple at home and are expected to take down a badly out-of-form Brooklyn team.
