Game Preview

 
The Los Angeles Lakers currently 23-27 will fly to battle against the Brooklyn Nets who are currently 30-19. This matchup is set to start at 7:30 p.m Eastern Time, hosted at the Barclays Center. The Lakers are coming off a rather controversial loss versus the Boston Celtics 125-121, after what most think was a missed foul call in overtime. The Nets recently sustained the resurgent Knicks, outlasting them in a tough game ending 122-115. The Lakers will play with their current best 2 members Anthony Davis (foot) and LeBron James, while Kevin Durant (knee), Ben Simmons (knee) will miss the match as well.
 
Guard Kyrie Irving will be the star left for Brooklyn this time around but it should be more than enough, incredible ball handles and cuts through the defense are just 2 of the plethora of skills he brings to the table. The 8 time All Star has popped off recently, shooting 37.7% from 3s. He is also averaging 27.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game. 
 
A secondary role player that might have more minutes is Center Nicolas Claxton, running walls with Irving might be the sole focus for the Nets. Claxton is a tall but yet agile athlete who defends the rim, has quick feet, and constantly looks for pick and roll plays with the point guard. This season Claxton is averaging 13.2 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game.

As for the Lakers, Guard Russell Westbrook has improved massively as a 6th man coming off the bench. Westbrook pushes the tempo with quick runs into the rim or taking pressure off teammates to pass the ball in the 3 point range. The veteran averages 15.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game. He will be a focal point in this matchup for the Lakers, as the squad is missing both of their superstars
 
Due to the injuries within the Lakers main lineup, we believe Irving will have a field day this Saturday. We take Brooklyn on this one.
