The Brooklyn Nets will be playing a Los Angeles team for the second night in a row when they face off against the Lakers on Sunday night. Here are our Nets-Lakers picks and predictions.
The Los Angeles Lakers (2-10) still haven't been able to build any momentum this season and are riding a five-game losing streak heading into Sunday night. Forward LeBron James has been upgraded to doubtful for this game, and if he's unable to suit up, their losing woes may continue. To make matters worse, forward Anthony Davis has also been listed as day-to-day with a back injury.
The Brooklyn Nets (6-7) have also gotten off to a disappointing start and will be missing star point guard Kyrie Irving as he continues to serve his suspension. They have been riding the hot hand of Kevin Durant as of late and have won four of their last 5 games, including their last two games after beating the Clippers last night.
