The Lakers are coming into this game with a 24-26 record overall and they are 9-14 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak after another loss in their last game.

Russell Westbrook led the team in points in that game with 35 while Carmelo Anthony was next on the team off the bench with 19 points. Westbrook and Anthony both led the team in assists in that game with 5 each while Austin Reaves led the team in rebounds with 8. They were 41.8% from the field, 37.5% from 3-point range, and 71.9% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 110.8 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 112.3 PPG against them. The Lakers have an ATS record of 21-29 this season and their O/U record is 28-22.

 

 

The Hawks are coming into this game with a 23-25 record overall and they are 13-11 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. Their last loss was against the New York Knicks but they have gone on a 6 game winning streak since then with wins coming against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Miami Heat, the Charlotte Hornets, the Sacramento Kings, and the Boston Celtics in their last game. John Collins and Trae Young both led the team in points in that game with 21 each while Bogdan Bogdanović was next on the team off the bench with 19 points. Young also led the team in assists in that game with 6 while he and Collins both led the team in rebounds with 9 each.

The Hawks have an ATS record of 21-27 this season and their O/U record is 25-23.

 

 

The Hawks have started to play much better in their recent games winning 6 straight coming into this one. They are starting to heat up and play much better and they have even been much better at home as they were not that great near the beginning of the season. The Lakers have not been playing well recently, they just got Anthony Davis back from injury but they keep losing games even with him back and now LeBron has started to miss some games recently. This Lakers team has been inconsistent all season and they are very far away from winning a championship this season in their current state. The Hawks have finally started to win more games and build a streak and they will likely win this game by quite a bit. The best bet to place in this game is on the Hawks to cover the spread here.

"I had just made two (3-pointers) just before that, so I will live and die with that one." - Russell Westbrook on missing what would have been the game winning shot in their loss against the Hornets on Friday night.

 

 

"We just got stops. We just played defense and really fought. Shots weren't going, especially for me. I shot the ball (badly) tonight, but it was a great defensive game for us against a team that can really score a lot of points. For us to hold them to 92 points was great." - Trae Young on their win against the Celtics on Friday night.
