This is a 10* play OVER Brooklyn-LA LAKERS

Points should be plentiful in this late night matchup Friday. Brooklyn is in the midst of a somewhat difficult seven-game road trip as it tries to make the playoffs. The trip did not start well as they lost the first three games. But they won at Sacramento Tuesday night, ironically doing so in spite of a defensive effort that was far worse than what we'd been seeing recently from them. They let the Kings score 121 points on 51.6% shooting. The prior seven Nets games all saw the opponent shoot 43.3% or worse from the field. But on the road trip, they're still giving up almost 116 points per game. The Lakers are obviously a dumpster fire right now and have thrown in the towel. But they still have LeBron James and last we checked, he's still really good. James is averaging 27.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 8.0 assists this season. He sat out the team's 115-101 loss to Milwaukee Tuesday night as his teammates combined to shoot just 38.4%. We expect both teams to score a lot tonight and for this game to go Over the total.
