Lakers vs. Atlanta: prediction for the NBA match
On January 7, Lakers will go for their 18th victory of the season. Will the Lakers prevail over the Atlanta Hawks? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
LA Lakers
USALakers should be grateful towards LeBron James. Despite team's problems, The King keeps up brilliant form. He was simply phenomenal in recent games. LeBron put up 43 points and 11 rebounds in a game against Charlotte. However, he had to miss the game against Miami, but Dennis Schroeder stepped up, scoring 32 points. His performance led Darwin Ham's men to a 112:109 victory over the Miami Heat.
LeBron will probably take part in the game against Atlanta, just like Russell Westbrook.
Atlanta Hawks
USAAtlanta finally managed to put an end to their losing streak. In the most recent game the Hawks managed to beat the Sacramento Kings (120:117). John Collins, De'Andre Hunter, Dejounte Murray and Trae Young combined for 88 points.
A victory over Sacramento might spark Atlanta's winning streak. Nate McMillan's men are currently at the 9th position in the Eastern conference, but they surely want to climb higher.
