Atlanta Hawks vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
The Hawks have quietly won 3 straight games and have the rest edge, so it’s not a surprise they’re favored. The Lakers are an old team on the end of a back to back so you have to check the injury report for possible sits. However, the Lakers have lost 3 straight games and just lost to the Kings, so this isn’t a spot where guys can get content and potentially throw away another game. The Lakers need this win to stop the bleeding. Guys should be angry. The Hawks also have a lengthy injury report of their own. I’ll grab the bucket with the Lakers in a game they should win outright if they take it seriously.
