They take on the Atlanta Hawks and this is a match that both sides really need to win to stay in touch.
The Atlanta Hawks will come into this match full of confidence after their 6 point win over the Kings a couple of nights back, and may very well be a handful for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers are also coming off a win to the Kings and will look to their star players to bring the offence in front of their home crowd.

Prediction
This match is shaping up as a decent one and the Atlanta Hawks should come to play. Keep an eye on the teams because if Trae Young suits up, they are every chance in this matchup.
The one thing the Lakers do have is Lebron James, and when he takes the game on, the Lakers normally get the win.
The Lakers have won 3 out of their last 4 against the Hawks and are on a three-game winning streak. This might be the move the Lakers need to climb the Western Conference Table.
The Los Angeles Lakers should get this one done, but expect the Atlanta Hawks to hang around in a high scoring affair.
