Command Analysis
Lakers are currently on a four-game losing streak. Frank Vogel's men recorded the most recent victory ten days ago, they managed to beat Dallas (107:104) on an away game. After that team from Los Angeles lost to Minnesota (92:110), Chicago (110:115), Phoenix (90:108) and San Antonio (110:138).
LeBron James and Russell Westbrook were the ones, who earned a victory over the Spurs in the previous match. James scored 36 points, Westbrook - 30. Other players of the team were not so high-scoring, eight players failed to get over the seven-point mark.
Too many Brooklyn players were tested positive for coronavirus, so some of Nets' matches had been postponed, because they were unable to fill the line-up. Now situation is slightly better, but team's leaders are still on injuried list.
Bruce Brown and James Johnson are available to play now, but Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are still absent. Steve Nash also will have to do without LaMarcus Aldridge, David Duke, Kessler Edwards, Cam Thomas and Day'Ron Sharpe.
We should note that James Harden and Paul Millsap have returned to the line-up. They will play alongside Patty Mills and Blake Griffin. That's a huge relief for Nets' fans.

Tip and bets
Lakers were looking terrible in recent matches. They are the oldest team in the league. Seems like veterans are unable to compete against top teams anymore. Younger players could've change the situation, but they are unavailable to play now.
LeBron James and Russell Westbrook carry the team on their shoulders forever. Brooklyn team has a much stronger squad now. We think that Nets will celebrate a victory at the City of Angels.
Our prediction - Brooklyn to win (Including OT)
Both teams have problems with the line-up. In this case, we are not expecting a high-scoring game. One of the teams will probably fail the match, so we offer to place a bet on total under.
Our second bet is on total under 227,5 points
