Los Angeles Lakers Betting
The Los Angeles Lakers are now on back-to-back losses and they are really missing the services of Anthony Davis who is out for another month at least with an injury.

LeBron James just shot 33% from the field but was still able to flirt with a triple-double of 19 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists. Kyle Kuzma led the team in scoring with 23 points along with four three-pointers. Montrezl Harrell came off the bench with a double-double of 18 points and ten boards.
