Brooklyn Nets at Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
Once again Brooklyn outright is tempting in itself. The Nets were trounced at the hands of the Clippers last night who improved to a NBA best 10-1 overall this season. The Nets playing a back-to-back off a bad loss is likely the narrative driving this market. However, the Nets have been in this situation before and they still managed to prove on many occasions this year that they are often undervalued. The misconception here is that the Lakers and the Clippers are comparable. The Clippers are a far better basketball team compared to their inner-city rivals. The Lakers were in the running for the worst record in the NBA in 2015, now a couple of impressive wins and some shown improvement has driven this club to a point where they have a propensity to be overvalued against the very teams they were compared to just a season ago. The Nets were in this predicament just a few days ago against Phoenix. The Suns were spotting points to the Nets and Phoenix lost at home outright much to the disdain of the public who were all over them. Brooklyn is set up perfectly for a great bounce-back play.
