The Lakers have suffered setbacks after losing Anthony Davis but they remain a formidable foe as they have depth at the Forward position and Dennis Schroeder can also undertake scoring duties. However, if Kyrie returns then the Nets can also field a high-scoring lineup.
In terms of bench strength, the Lakers have an upper-hand, and the Nets will have trouble dealing with Montrezl Harrell off the bench. Nets need to improve their defense and learn from the Lakers who are elite on both ends. This will be an interesting contest worthy of NBA Live Stream as it is a star-studded affair.
