The Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets appear to be teams moving in opposite directions prior to their clash in the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday night.
The Lakers currently have the most disappointing records in league with 2-10, after suffering five consecutive loss. However the Nets have come back from their early season struggles following the resignation from Steve Nash, winning four of their last five games.
Each team will be short of superstar power on Sunday, however LeBron James is scheduled to miss his third straight game due to a left adductor strain. James is considered to be day-to-day, however the Lakers will not play on Friday following the Brooklyn game, so it's logical to allow James an extra day of rest , told by genting online casino malaysia.
In the meantime the Nets are still without Kyrie Irving because of the suspension that the team was handed down after he posted an anti-Semitic post in social media. Brooklyn requires Irving to complete a series of tasks before he is able to be reinstated, which even James has expressed his displeasure about the past week.

The Nets remain a plethora of firepower , even with Irving as well as Seth Curry, who is also gone, but the team's strength starts by introducing Kevin Durant. The Hall of Famer of the future is currently undergoing another MVP-like season for Brooklyn. His size and shooting abilities could present numerous issues for an Lakers team lacking wingspan.
It will be interesting to know what Darvin Ham will defend Durant since Patrick Beverley has been the typical guard for wings this season but has had very little success. Maybe Anthony Davis will get a chance to play defense Durant along with Wenyen Gabriel playing Nets centre Nic Claxton.
However however, the Lakers are in the middle of need-to-win territory only 13 weeks into their season, which nobody could have anticipated. If L.A. loses this game the team will be 2-11 overall while digging an opening that will soon become too deep to get out of.
There are reports that suggest that the Lakers are not likely to upgrade their roster through trades if losses continue to mount which means that the time is now for them to turn things around, and they'll have the perfect chance to do it this Sunday against an elite Brooklyn team.
