LiontipsCleveland vs. Lakers. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Cleveland performed poorly in the previous match. Bickerstaff's men chose to catch a break for the game against New York, they were terrible on the offense. Cavaliers failed to score even 90 points. Only Donovan Mitchell managed to put up a decent performance, scoring 23 points, but he lacked support from teammates. As a result, Cavs suffered a 81:92 defeat.
Cleveland will try to bounce back with a home victory. Bickerstaff's team won 10 of 11 home matches in the current season, so hosts are considered clear favorites of the game.
Seems like Lakers key players finally found a connection. LeBron James and Anthony Davis were looking excellent in recent matches. California team earned some victories with a help of Davis, who performed brilliantly. In the most recent game against Washington he scored 55 points and collected 17 rebounds. Lakers secured a 130:119 victory over the Wizards.
California team is still at the 13th position in the Western conference standings. But team's current form leaves hope for a play-off spot.

Tip and bets
Lakers looked great on the offense in recent games. In three latest matches Darwin Ham's men scored no less than 128 points. They are unlikely to change the strategy for the game against Cleveland. We are expecting a high-scoring outing against the Cavs.
Our prediction - total over 222 points
Lakers gained fantastic form, so they have a chance to get a positive result in Cleveland. Hosts will play without Jarrett Allen, so it won't be an easy game for Bickerstaff's men.
Our second bet is on Handicap (+6,5) points for Lakers
