Cleveland Cavaliers v Los Angeles Lakers: Prediction for the NBA match
Prior to this match, teams had played 34 matches with each other. Los Angeles was stronger 16 times and Cleveland scored 18 wins. When making a prediction for the match between Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers, you should pay attention that the last meeting, which took place in early November, ended in favor of the Cavaliers (114:100).
Cleveland Cavaliers
Cleveland played poorly in the last game. It seems that in the confrontation with New York, Bickerstaff’s wards decided to take a small timeout. They were terrible on offense. The “cavalrymen” did not even score 90 points. Only Donovan Mitchell played more or less well. He scored 23 points. However, the partners did not support him. As a result, the Cavs lost with a score of 81:92. There is no doubt that Cleveland will try to rectify the situation at home. At home, Bickerstaff’s wards won 10 out of 11 matches. It is not surprising that the bookmakers consider them the favorites of the meeting.
Los Angeles Lakers
It looks like the leaders of the Lakers finally found an understanding. LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been showing great performances lately. Thanks to this, the team from California gets victories. We would especially like to mention Davis. In the last confrontation with Washington, he shot 55 points and also completed 17 rebounds. The Lakers defeated the Wizards 130-119. In the standings of the West, the team from California still occupies the 13th line. But the latest progress in the game gives the team hope that the Lakers will soon fight for a place in the playoff zone.
Prediction
The Lakers have been playing fantastic offensively lately. In the previous three matches, Darwin Ham's wards scored at least 128 points. It is unlikely that they will change tactics in the confrontation with Cleveland. Most likely, the meeting with the Cavs will turn out to be quite spectacular. Our prediction is for the total over 222 points for odds of 1.78 in bookmaker 1xBet. The Lakers have a great run, so they can count on a successful result in Cleveland. Moreover, the hosts will perform without Jarrett Allen. It will definitely not be easy for Bickerstaff to ward. The second prediction is for the Lakers with a handicap (+6.5) points for 1.73.
