LiontipsCleveland vs Lakers. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Cleveland is holding on to the 6th spot in the Eastern Conference. Despite all of their problems with the squad, Bickerstaff's men recorded three victories in four last matches. They managed to beat the Clippers (120:111), Denver (119:116) and Detroit (113:109).
Cavaliers are still playing without Jarrett Allen and Rajon Rondo. They are recovering after injuries, so they will miss the upcoming match as well.
Lakers' poor form continues. In two weeks they have recorded only two victories. Frank Vogel's men managed to beat Washington (122:109) and Toronto (128:123). Lakers were defeated in all other matches. For example, in the previous match Wizards managed to take their revenge on them. Los Angeles team suffered a 119:127 defeat.
After recent failures Lakers dropped to the 10th position in the Eastern Conference. Pelicans managed to overtake them. Now Vogel's men are on the verge of dropping from Top-10.

Tip and bets
Lakers have nowhere to retreat now. Another mistake will do serious damage to the Lakers' chances for a play-in spot. They are only two games clear of San Antonio. Cleveland is also in a poor form. We think that Vogel's men have every chance to walk away from Ohio with a victory.
Our prediction - Lakers to win the match (Including OT)
Latest matches of the Lakers were extremely high-scoring. In each of two previous matches they managed to score at least 119 points. Taking that into account, we are expecting a high-scoring match against the Cavaliers.
Our second bet is on total over 221,5 points
