The Los Angeles Lakers are in quite unstable form. They can defeat championship candidates like the Phoenix Suns or Los Angeles Clippers, but can also easily fall to lower-rated teams like the Orlando Magic or Sacramento Kings.

The ability to maintain stability throughout the match has always been a problem for the Lakers. Therefore, despite having a great advantage, the Lakers can completely lose everything or vice versa. Therefore, it was decided to limit playing time for LeBron James to 29 minutes, to help the 39-year-old star have a stable physical condition. However, he often has to play about 34-37 minutes per match because the Lakers cannot end the match early. The Lakers are not in good form, but they are still better than the Miami Heat. The fact that No. 1 star Jimmy Butler could not play due to injury caused the Heat to start the season quite badly. After 6 matches, they won 2 and lost 4. Except for 2 victories against teams that did not have many goals this season, the Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons, the Heat lost all matches.

The Heat’s defense is also not good, always allowing opponents to score points quite easily. This weakness promises to be more obvious in the next match when the Lakers own Anthony Davis under the basket. Bam Adebayo does not have enough physical strength or class to accompany the LA Lakers star. While on the outside, losing Butler due to injury, the Heat also doesn’t have many players who can mark LeBron James.

Therefore, the Lakers are definitely the team that will play better. However, their instability will create conditions for the Heat to return to the match. However, with the level of James and Davis, the away team will still retain the victory.
