Atlanta Hawks vs. Los Angeles Lakers Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Picks - January 6

The Atlanta Hawks will continue their west-coast road trip tonight when they play the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. This will be their second meeting after the Lakers beat the Hawks last Friday in Atlanta.

Atlanta won their last time out, taking out the Kings to snap a four-game losing streak. It was a complete team effort, with four of the five starts scoring at least 20 points. They're 18-20 this season but still can make a run and make noise in the Eastern Conference playoff picture.

The home team has won three straight after beating the Heat on Wednesday. They won that game despite Anthony Davis and LeBron James both being inactive. Their season has also been disappointing to this point, with their record sitting at 17-21.

This game will feature plenty of stars and importance for both sides. Let's see who will come through under the bright lights tonight.

Atlanta Hawks vs. Los Angeles Lakers Prediction

While the Hawks enjoyed a road win on Wednesday, they've struggled on the road all season. They are 7-12 on the road, which is the main reason they're under .500 this year. The Lakers are playing well right now, led by LeBron James, who is averaging 34.5 points per game in his last 11 plays. He's back tonight, and I think that the Lakers' win streak will continue because of him tonight.
