The LA Lakers will be in New York on Monday to face the Brooklyn Nets in a regular season game. The Purple and Gold saw their eight-game winning streak come to an end on Saturday when they played the Boston Celtics. JJ Redick's team will be eager to bounce back and return to winning ways against the struggling Nets.
However, the game may not be as straightforward as Lakers fans would hope. The team has been dealing with injuries recently and the situation has only worsened following their latest outing. On the road, the Lakers will need a collective effort from all available players to secure an important victory.

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have had a tough season, currently on a seven-game losing streak and sitting in 12th place in the Eastern Conference with a 21-42 record. In contrast, the Lakers are holding strong in second place in the Western Conference with a 40-22 record.
