Cleveland has won six of its past seven games to climb back up the Eastern Conference standings, and the recent return of center Jarrett Allen is stoking this late-season surge. My Cavaliers vs. Lakers predictions see Allen posing a big problem for the Los Angeles defense, and our NBA picks like him to light up La-La Land inside.
Cavaliers vs Lakers prediction Cavaliers vs Lakers best bet: Jarrett Allen Over 11. 5 points (-125) Jarrett Allen missed about a month with a knee injury, but he looked fantastic in his first game back last Friday. The Cleveland Cavaliers center put in just 18 minutes against the Miami Heat, but he still went 8-for-10 from the floor with 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Allen took the night off against Utah yesterday, the first of back-to-back road contests, giving him a full three days of rest and recovery before tonight's contest with the Los Angeles Lakers . Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers are on the second leg of a back-to-back and have major defensive issues inside. Their star-studded backcourt leaves DeAndre Ayton , Jaxson Hayes , and Maxi Kleber as middling options in the paint.
