Los Angeles @ Atlanta

Current Records: Los Angeles 23-3; Atlanta 6-20

What to Know

If the oddsmakers' predictions hold true, the near future looks bright for the Los Angeles Lakers. They are on the road again on Sunday and play against the Atlanta Hawks at 6 p.m. ET at State Farm Arena. Los Angeles is cruising in on a six-game winning streak while Atlanta is stumbling in off of three consecutive losses.

The Lakers came out on top in a nail-biter against the Miami Heat last week, sneaking past 113-110. PF Anthony Davis (33 points) was the top scorer for the Lakers. That's three consecutive double-doubles for SF LeBron James.

Meanwhile, Atlanta came up short against the Indiana Pacers last Friday, falling 110-100. PG Trae Young (23 points) and SF De'Andre Hunter (21 points) were the top scorers for Atlanta.

Los Angeles' win lifted them to 23-3 while Atlanta's defeat dropped them down to 6-20. Two offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Atlanta is stumbling into the contest with the third fewest rebounds per game in the league, having accrued only 42.1 on average. To make matters even worse for the Hawks, the Lakers enter the matchup with 48.70% field goal percentage, good for best in the league. So the Atlanta squad has its work cut out for it.
