Atlanta at Los Angeles

The LA Lakers overcame missing Anthony Davis in a 114-106 win vs. Portland last night. They may be without Davis again tonight as they take the court unrested vs the Atlanta Hawks; LeBron James carried the team with 38 points. The Lakers used their bench a lot last night, knowing they must come right back tonight. The Lakers subs saw 95 total minutes on the floor, so I don't think playing back-to-back will be an issue. The Hawks are currently in 7th place in the East, and if the season ended today, they would be playing in the play-in round. The Hawks are a mediocre team, which will be a tall order. The Lakers have a losing record on the road but have been much better at home, where they are 11-5 on the season. Make the play on the LA Lakers.
