Los Angeles Lakers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
Los Angeles Lakers (36-32)
The Los Angeles Lakers, who have won six of their past eleven games, are now sitting tenth in the conference league table. The Warriors narrowly defeated the Lakers 128–121. Even though the seasoned veteran Lebron James had a tremendous game with 40 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists, his teammates did not provide much support, which led to a home loss. The Lakers will host the Hawks once more in an attempt to demonstrate their superiority at home, where they have a strong 24–12 record.
The Lakers are currently rated 10th in the league for offensive efficiency, scoring 117.2 points per game on average, and 23rd for defensive efficiency, allowing opponents to score 117.8 points per game. This indicates that the Lakers have a respectable offence. LeBron James averages 25.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 8.1 assists a game, which leads the Lakers in scoring efficiency. In a game, Anthony Davis contributes 24.5 points, 2.4 blocks, and 12.3 rebounds to help the defence. D’Angelo Russell, who averages 17.9 points and 6.3 treys per game, and Austin Reaves, who averages 15.9 points and 5.5 treys, are two more players to keep an eye on.
Atlanta Hawks (30-37)
The Atlanta Hawks have only won five of their last ten games, placing them in tenth place in the conference league table. In an away game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Hawks prevailed 110-93. Dejounte Murray led the club with a double-double, scoring 21 points and dishing out 10 assists to help the team win. The Hawks have a respectable road record of 14–20, but they will be motivated in this game because they have already defeated the Lakers this season.
The Atlanta Hawks average 119.3 points per game, which puts them fifth in the NBA for offensive efficiency. Conversely, they are the third poorest team in the league when it comes to defence, giving up 120.8 points per game against opponents. With an average of 26.4 points and 10.8 assists per game this season, their lone star player, Trae Young, is having a tremendous season.
