Cleveland Cavaliers v Los Angeles Lakers: prediction for the NBA match
Last year teams sorted out the relationship three times and all three times the success was celebrated by Los Angeles. However, they will still enter the upcoming meeting in the status of a serious underdog.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Hornets improved significantly. In recent matches the wards of James Borrego are much more confident than before. They even managed to beat Atlanta (116:106) and Dallas (129:108). Recent successes have allowed Charlotte to gain a foothold in the ninth line of the Eastern Conference. Now it will be incredibly difficult to fly out of the top 10. After all, the advantage of the “hornets” over the 11th “Washington” is six wins. Given the way the Wizards operate, catching up with the Hornets won’t be easy.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers continue to suffer one defeat after another. In two weeks they won only two victories. Frank Vogel’s men managed to defeat Washington (122:109) and Toronto (128:123). In other matches the “lakes” were defeated. In the last match, for example, they allowed the Wizards to take revenge. The team from Los Angeles lost with a score of 119:127. Recent setbacks have sent the Lakers to 10th in the Eastern Conference. Even the Pelicans beat the Lakers. Wards of Vogel risk losing a place in the top 10.
Prediction
The Lakers have nowhere to go. Another misfire will aggravate the Lakers' chances of reaching the play-in. After all, the lead over San Antonio is two wins.
