What to Know

The Los Angeles Lakers are staying on the road Monday to face off against the Atlanta Hawks at 7:30 p.m. ET Feb. 1 at State Farm Arena. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The Lakers escaped with a win this past Saturday against the Boston Celtics by the margin of a single free throw, 96-95. It was another big night for Los Angeles' power forward Anthony Davis, who dropped a double-double on 27 points and 14 rebounds.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between Atlanta and the Washington Wizards this past Friday was still a pretty decisive one as the Hawks wrapped it up with a 116-100 win on the road. Atlanta's point guard Trae Young did his thing and shot 5-for-9 from downtown and finished with 41 points and five assists.

Los Angeles is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.

Los Angeles is now 15-6 while Atlanta sits at 10-9. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Lakers enter the contest with only 104.3 points allowed per game on average, good for second best in the league.
