Atlanta vs Lakers: prediction for the NBA match
On December 31, Lakers are coming to Atlanta. Will the Lakers get a victory over the Hawks? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Atlanta Hawks
USAAtlanta played their most recent match without Trae Young, Clint Capela and De'Andre Hunter. Despite the absence of these players, Hawks were looking great. Dejounte Murray and John Collins managed to replace the leaders, but team was still unable to defeat Brooklyn. Nate McMillan's men suffered a defeat by 107:108 score.
Young should be able to return for the Hawks in the game against the Lakers. With Trae in the line-up Hawks will be much stronger on the offensive end. Capela and Hunter will probably miss the upcoming game.
LA Lakers
USALakers are still playing without Davis. Anthony is too important for the Lakers, after his injury team's results are going down. Darwin Ham's men have lost 5 of 6 latest matches.
Lakers are still at the 13th position in the Western conference standings. It will be tough for them to get into the playoffs, because the Lakers are way too inconsistent.
