Lakers vs Cleveland. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA

Lakers signed a number of high-profile players during the off-season, but so far those signings didn't help them. There are too many ball hogs in the team and it affected negatively on teamwork. That's why Frank Vogel's men lost three matches out of five. They recorded only two victories over Memphis (121:118) and San Antonio (125:121). 

In the most recent match Lakers suffered a defeat once again. This time they were beaten by Oklahoma (115:123). Anthony Davis scored 30 points, Russell Westbrook - 20. But it was not enough for a victory. 

Rajon Rondo, LeBron James and Anthony Davis may miss the match against Cleveland. All of those players have minor injuries. It is unknown, whether they will play or not. 

Cleveland got off to a slow start in the regular season. Cavaliers suffered defeats in first two matches. But than Bickerstaff's men started an unexpected winning streak. Team recorded victories over Atlanta (101:95), Denver (99:87) and Clippers (92:79).

Looks like Cavs' head coach is satisfied with his team performance. He is building a defensive-minded team with a cautious style of play. So far this strategy is successful for the club. Clippers and Denver were unable to break through Cavaliers defense and scored less than 90 points.
