Quin Snyder's team can't establish the game in any way in defense and has a strongly negative balance of wins. Even against the background of fatigue, the Lakers can stop the Hawks. Moreover, according to the statistics of head-to-head meetings in recent years, the Lakers have a noticeable advantage. Let's bet on the visitors.
