Expert picks & predictions for Monday’s Lakers vs. Nets game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Nets to cover against the Lakers:
“LeBron James being out makes this an easy Nets or pass spot for me. Los Angeles will be trying new plays/lineups with Luka Doncic on the floor and without LeBron, which doesn’t bring me confidence. The Nets, in my mind, would have been +8 to +10 underdogs, so this line being lower makes me lean toward Brooklyn. The Nets are 1-4 ATS in the past five games but failed to cover as a -5.5 point favorite against the Hornets.”
