Predictions

The Lakers’ next game will be on Saturday when they take on the Sacramento Kings. Below are my predictions for LeBron James, Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, Josh Hart, and Tyson Chandler.

LeBron James

Stats Predicted: 31 min, 24 pts, 8 reb, 8 ast, 2 stl, 9/16 FG, 2/4 3FG, 4/6 FT

LeBron James should have an easy-going matchup against the Kings on Saturday. He should not exceed more than 35 minutes against an inexperienced team. Moreover, we should see him do “King” things and finish the night with an efficient near triple-double.

Brandon Ingram

Stats Predicted: 35 min, 27 pts, 7 reb, 5 ast, 1 blk, 10/19 FG, 4/7 3FG, 3/5 FT

Brandon Ingram just had his best game of the season. Let’s just say he will probably capitalize in a mouth-watering matchup against the Kings. BI should finish with his highest-scoring night of the season.

Kyle Kuzma

Stats Predicted: 30 min, 18 pts, 7 reb, 1 stl, 7/12 FG, 3/6 3FG, 1/2 FT

Kyle Kuzma has been the number-two scoring option for the Lakers this year. He has done a great job and will continue to do so. We do not expect him to play more than 30 minutes.

Josh Hart

Stats Predicted: 25 min, 16 pts, 3 reb, 2 stl, 6/13 FG, 1/3 3FG, 3/4 FT

Josh Hart has struggled a bit over the past few games. After his performance last night, however, it would be difficult to bet against him. With his constant change in role, Hart should say anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes of action. He will finish with double-digit scoring once again, but probably not because of his three-point shooting.

Tyson Chandler

Stats Predicted: 20 min, 8 pts, 8 reb, 1 blk, 4/6 FG

Tyson Chandler is nearing the end of his career. In order for him to be as effective as possible for the playoffs, the Lakers will definitely be limiting his playing time during the season. Against a weak frontcourt team, Chandler should play for about 20 minutes and get close to a double-double. Even if he does not, his presence will definitely be felt on the floor once again.

Team

Final Score Predicted: 112-101, a Lakers win

The Sacramento Kings have played great so far this season, but with the Lakers one game away from .500 it does not look like they will win this one. King James and crew definitely make it to the .500 mark with an easy 112-101 win.
