Before this they came losing to Miami by a score of 112-98 on Wednesday. In preparation for its fourth game of a five-game road trip, Los Angeles Lakers will take on Charlotte on Monday. The Lakers have the second-worst record of any team LeBron James has played for after 35 games; the lowest mark was an 11-24 start to his rookie campaign with Cleveland.
After going 7-3 through its first 10 games of the season, Atlanta has struggled to keep up its outstanding play. Since early March, the Hawks have not won more than two games in a row, posting a 25-game record of 10-15. Coming into this game, they had dropped three of their previous four contests; their most recent effort was a 108-107 setback to Brooklyn on Wednesday.

Aaron Holiday’s late 3-pointer knotted the game for the Hawks at 104-104, but they were never able to take the lead.
The Los Angeles Lakers have a record of 1-6 ATS overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. The Hawks have an 8-22 ATS record in their last 30 games after an ATS victory and have gone 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games on Friday. In the Lakers’ past six games overall, the over is 5-1. In the Hawks’ past 10 games overall, overs are 7-3.
Prediction:
The Los Angeles Lakers are falling down and this was expected since they started terribly this season. For this game they will try and end their losing streak but it will be very hard. The Los Angeles Lakers are terrible and despite having LeBron in the team, it is hardly believed they will make the playoffs this season an. Next year he will be one year older, as today he has his 38th birthday. Back to the game, the Lakers are 7.5 point underdog and the points are too much as the Hawks are also terrible.
Happy birthday LeBron and Lakers +7.5
