Brooklyn Nets vs. Los Angeles Lakers Best Pick
The Brooklyn Nets have been dependent on the production of Kevin Durant in order to be successful. However, his offense has been the main reason why they are doing well, and had less than five assists in three of his previous four games. This feels like a steal and we are essentially getting even money in this game.
Kevin Durant; Assists: Under 5.5 (-105)
Brooklyn Nets vs. Los Angeles Lakers Final Prediction
This Los Angeles Lakers team has struggled to figure things out and without LeBron James, it seems even more likely that the Brooklyn Nets will win on the road and cover the spread.
The defenses have been completely different as the Nets are allowing 92.5 points in their last four games while the Lake Show are giving up 121.8 points in that same stretch of games.
Brooklyn Nets: -5 (-105)
