The Los Angeles Lakers take on the Miami Heat tonight. For the Lakers, they have struggled in the absence of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. So, players like Dennis Schroder and Kyle Kuzma have been forced to step up their game and take charge. The Lakers will be hoping that the rest of the team can stay afloat as James and Davis hurry to recover and return before the end of the season.

The Miami Heat have had their good run of form halted. They have won four out of the last five games but lost their most recent game to the Memphis Grizzlies. The addition of Victor Oladipo has made Miami a genuine contender in the Eastern Conference. But the franchise is still not looking as strong as they were last year and will hope to turn things around.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Miami Heat – Predictions

Both teams desperately need a win going into the post-season this year. The Lakers have had little-to-no consistency over this stretch without both LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Miami Heat may find their good form ruptured after their last game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Expect the Heat to get past the depleted Los Angeles Lakers.
