Premium Pick

The Lakers aren't getting it done at home or away, with a 9-17 home record. That's what happens when you have more players in the trainer's room than on the court! The Lakers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games, and are playing bad defense, 29th in the NBA allowing 106 points per game. The Brooklyn Nets are healthier and have turned things around, on a 15-7 SU, 14-8 ATS run to get back in the playoff race. This veteran team is 5-2 ATS following a loss, and 9-2 ATS against a team with a losing record. The Nets are 19-8 ATS in their last 27 vs. the NBA Pacific division. When these teams meet, the road team is 18-6-3 ATS in the last 27 meetings, and the Nets are 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Los Angeles, and those were against Kobe Bryant, who is on the shelf. Play the Brooklyn Nets.
