Los Angeles at Atlanta

The LA Lakers assembled 3 of the top NBA players in the league James, Davis, and Westbrook. It sure seemed they would have a monopoly on NBA Championships. It has not been the case as the Lakers continue to struggle at 14-21 on the season. Westbrook has been coming off the bench, Davis is injured and out, and James has had nagging injuries that come with age. The Lakers put together a 4 game road winning streak earlier in the season, but the road woes otherwise show them at a woeful 2-13. The wins came against bad teams in Orlando and Detroit. The 11 losses have come by 181 combined points or nearly 17ppg. This game isn't about Atlanta, it is about an inept Laker team. Make the play on Atlanta.
