Atlanta Hawks vs Los Angeles Lakers Live Stream online

📣Can Atlanta take down another tough opponent? Recently, the team has been bringing only positive emotions to its fans. Approaching the upcoming clash, the Hawks come with a 5-game winning streak, often considered clear underdogs. The Lakers, having completely failed their last two matches, clearly want to achieve a positive result. In such a situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction.

Head-to-Head Meetings

In head-to-head confrontations, the Lakers dominate Atlanta. Over a stretch of 36 games, the Hawks achieved the desired result only 12 times, while Los Angeles defeated their opponent 24 times. Most of the recent games also favored Atlanta. Thus, in 4 out of 5 matches, the Lakers were forced to leave the court as the losing side.

Atlanta Hawks

5 – that’s how many consecutive matches Atlanta hasn’t lost. The team, which at the start of the season was called Robin Hood, has finally found stability. The most impressive is the list of defeated opponents. During this period, the Hawks managed to upset Cleveland twice, the leader of the Eastern Conference standings (135-124 and 117-101), and on the road thrashed Milwaukee, who hadn’t known the taste of defeat for 7 matches (119-104). It’s also worth noting Atlanta’s offensive play. Since November 23, Quinn Snyder’s wards have taken to the court 7 times and in 6 cases surpassed the 117-point mark.

Los Angeles Lakers

If Atlanta has hit a winning streak, then Los Angeles players have driven themselves into an “emotional pit.” The Lakers, who left a positive impression with their play at the start of the season, have slowed down in absolutely all aspects. In 6 of the last 8 matches, the team was weaker than their opponents. The last 2 confrontations turned out to be especially disastrous. On December 3, Los Angeles lost to Minnesota with a score of 80-109, and on December 5 suffered one of the largest defeats in their history (93-134 against Miami). Undoubtedly, the Lakers have some roster issues, but this cannot serve as an excuse for their dismal results.

Editorial Prediction

According to sportsbooks, there is no favorite in the upcoming confrontation. Our editorial team certainly disagrees. Just take a look at the results of the teams in recent matches. Atlanta, for instance, has found its optimal form. The Hawks are on a 5-game winning streak, during which both Milwaukee and Cleveland (twice) were crushed. The Lakers, on the other hand, not only stopped winning but also started suffering humiliating defeats from not the most serious opponents. Los Angeles leaders have also stopped being effective. In the match against Miami (93-134), Anthony Davis scored 8 points in 31 minutes, making just 3 out of 14 shots. Therefore, our betting option is victory for Atlanta.
