Lakers vs Miami: prediction for the NBA match

After a disastrous season LeBron James started to build the new team. Lakers signed a triple-double king Russell Westbrook and an experienced Carmelo Anthony. Everyone thought that Westbrook will make the difference, but so far Carmelo is doing way more than his partner.

Lakers are very close to the leaders of the Western conference, but LeBron James got injured and now everything started to fall apart. Now team is at the 8th spot, it is surely not the best result for Anthony Davis and co.

Frank Vogel's team managed to record a narrow victory over Charlotte. Teams faced each other at Staples Center, but despite that, Hornets were fighting until the end. But Los Angeles outfit still managed to edge a victory at overtime (126:123). 

Team tried to strengthen the squad during the off-season and acquired Kyle Lowry from Toronto, he turned out to be a perfect player for the Heat. Florida team is doing everything to hold on to the top spot of the Eastern conference, but Washington and Chicago are not too far behind. 

Miami started to fall apart recently, because Eastern conference is extremely competitive. In the previous game team played at Ball Arena, but failed to avoid a defeat (96:113). There were a brief brawl after a flagrant foul on Nikola Jokic by Markieff Morris, Serbian player answered with a punch in the back. Of course, those moments are not too beautiful to watch, but no sport can stay out of it. 

Heat are getting ready for the match against the Lakers, who are a pretty comfortable opponent, but Los Angeles outfit should not be underestimated, especially at Staples Center.
