Power forward Anthony Davis is leading the way as he is averaging 23.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, a pair of blocks, and 1.5 steals per game.

These teams are dealing with some players missing and dealing with injuries. For Brooklyn they have small forward T.J. Warren (foot), small forward Yuta Watanabe (ankle), and point guard Kyrie Irving (suspension) are out while shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) is questionable. For Los Angeles, small forward LeBron James (adductor) is ruled out while power forward Anthony Davis (back) is listed as probable.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Los Angeles Lakers Best Pick

The Brooklyn Nets have been dependent on the production of Kevin Durant in order to be successful. However, his offense has been the main reason why they are doing well, and had less than five assists in three of his previous four games. This feels like a steal and we are essentially getting even money in this game.

Kevin Durant; Assists: Under 5.5 (-105)

Brooklyn Nets vs. Los Angeles Lakers Final Prediction

This Los Angeles Lakers team has struggled to figure things out and without LeBron James, it seems even more likely that the Brooklyn Nets will win on the road and cover the spread.

The defenses have been completely different as the Nets are allowing 92.5 points in their last four games while the Lake Show are giving up 121.8 points in that same stretch of games.

Brooklyn Nets: -5 (-105)
