The Los Angeles Lakers invade the Barclays Center to take on the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night. Here’s a Los Angeles Lakers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction. This article will include a Los Angeles Lakers vs Brooklyn Nets Pick.

Los Angeles Lakers Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Lakers have been on fire as they've won 18 of their last 22 games overall. They will be hoping to bounce back in this one after having their eight-game win streak halted by the Celtics in a 111-101 road defeat on Saturday. Luka Doncic led the team with 34 points on 11 of 22 shooting, LeBron James added 22 points with 14 rebounds and nine assists while Austin Reaves chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Lakers shot 44 percent from the field and 14 of 40 from the 3-point line, but they went ice-cold and scored just 13 points in the third quarter to trail by 22 points. This proved to be too much to overcome despite cutting the deficit to just four points with 5:06 left on the clock. 

Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in a major slump as they've lost eight of their last nine games overall. They will be hoping to snap a seven-game losing streak after falling just short to the struggling Hornets in a 105-102 road defeat on Saturday. D'Angelo Russell led the team in scoring with 28 points and seven assists, Ziaire Williams added 19 points while Cam Thomas chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Nets shot 46 percent from the field and 14 of 50 from the 3-point line as they dominated the second quarter by 30-17 to take a 17-point lead. But just when it looked like they had the game locked up, it was the Hornets who closed the final 3:11 on a 12-0 run to snatch the game away in the final seconds. 

Why the Brooklyn Nets will win

  • The Nets have won each of their last six home games on the first leg of a back-to-back after losing as favorites.
  • The Lakers have lost each of their last three road games against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Nets have covered the spread in each of their last four games against Western Conference opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Lakers have failed to cover the spread in five of their last six games as road favorites against Eastern Conference opponents.

Why the Los Angeles Lakers will win

  • The Nets have lost each of their last 10 games at Barclays Center against Pacific Division opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Lakers have won each of their last four games against Atlantic Division opponents following a loss.
  • The Nets have failed to cover the spread in six of their last seven games as home underdogs against Pacific Division opponents.
  • The road team has covered the spread in 10 of the last 12 games between the Lakers and Nets.

Total Points Facts

  • Seven of the Lakers' last eight games as road favorites against opponents who are on the first leg of a back-to-back have gone OVER the total points line.
  • Each of the Nets' last four home games against the Lakers following a road loss have gone UNDER the total points line.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction

The Lakers are shorthanded for this one as LeBron James has been ruled out, and they are keeping an eye on Luka Doncic and Jaxson Hayes who are both questionable. The Lakers are set for a rough patch with the injuries starting to pile up, but they should still have little trouble beating this ice-cold Nets squad who just lost to the slumping Hornets. The line is short enough, so I am looking at the Lakers to eek a narrow win behind a big game from Austin Reaves who has been in great form.
