The Crypto.com Arena will be lit tonight as the Los Angeles Lakers round off their three-game homestand against the Cleveland Cavaliers in this NBA interconference clash. The Lakers are third in the Western Conference standings at 49–26 on the season, while the Cavs are fourth in the East at 47–28. Who is likely to come out on top? Check out our prediction for the game below.
The Los Angeles Lakers closed in on securing a Play-off spot after thrashing the Washington Wizards 120–101 last night. That victory moved them seven games ahead of the Phoenix Suns in seventh place in the conference standings, with seven games left in the regular season.
A win tonight will see the California ball club seal their place in the top six. They are 12–1 over their last 13 games overall and come into this fixture riding an impressive nine-game winning streak at the Crypto.com Arena.
The Cleveland Cavaliers moved six games ahead of seventh-placed Philadelphia 76ers after defeating the struggling Utah Jazz 122–113 last night, strengthening their bid for a Play-off finish. That victory also extended their winning streak on the road to five.
Nevertheless, the Cavs are set for a tough test tonight against the Lakers, who boast a superior overall record and have proven a formidable opponent against Eastern Conference teams this season (19–10).
