Injury Report

Moneyline: Brooklyn Nets -8.5 (-110) @ DraftKings Sportsbook

Both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets will be missing some key players, but it's sure to be a star-studded performance regardless. The Brooklyn Nets are currently fourth in the East, but they've won just four of their last 10 games. The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off of a devastating loss, keeping them 13th in the West and sending them to 4-6 over their last 10 games.

The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to enter this game without the assistance of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. They've now gone 3-2 over their last five games, allowing their opponents 119.0 points per game on 45.5% from the field and 35.3% from three-point range. Brooklyn's form has been similarly inconsistent, as they've been lacking Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons in recent matches. Brooklyn's offense has still been impressive without Durant, averaging 122.8 points per game on 53.8% from the field and 47.1% from three over their last five matches.

The Lakers are sure to be motivated going into this match, especially off the back of a controversial loss in their last game. However, with their stars missing, they're severely more undermanned than the Brooklyn Nets. Given their maintained offensive threat, the Nets should earn a victory.
