Cavs vs. Lakers Prediction:
Take the Lakers. I incorrectly took the Warriors last night against Cleveland, but we’re going against them here. LA have been great at home and this will be the second game in a row for Cleveland. The Lakers should be at full strength here and I think they have a great chance to win, but at least cover.
