NETS 3-HOME-DOG TONIGHT AGAINST THE LAKERS — BROOKLYN WILL WIN AND COVER!!
By Skip Charles in Vegas
The Lakers have sucked lately, and even though Anthony Davis returns, nothing will suddenly fix that.
Even with Davis on the floor, they’re just 13-14 overall this season.
On the other side, the Nets have been able to get the job done even while shorthanded, which has already included an outright win over this Lakers team on Christmas Day without Durant and Irving seeing a single minute.
In that game, James Harden and Patty Mills combined for 70 points, which proves that Brooklyn has more quality scoring options outside of their star players.
The Lakers have the bigger names on paper, but Brooklyn has been the better team all year, and at the minimum, I think it will be able to stay within striking distance.
