Atlanta vs LA Lakers Prediction: Bad Luck Follows the Lakers

Prediction for the Summer League match between Atlanta vs LA Lakers, which will take place on July 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Atlanta

The Hawks kicked off their summer camp right after the tournament in Las Vegas, where they lost two games before meeting with the Lakers. First, Atlanta lost 88-94 to Washington, and then they couldn't handle San Antonio, 76-79. Meanwhile, French forward Zaccharie Risacher, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft, is off to a good start with 14.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 blocked shots in two games. The Hawks also have E.J. Liddell, who was picked 11th overall in the 2022 draft. He's averaging 13 points, five rebounds, and two blocks per game.

LA Lakers

The Lakers' main goal at the summer tournaments is to show the media what Bronny James can do. It's unclear if the Lakers will benefit from such a display. So far, LeBron's son is having a rough time. He's averaging 4.25 points per game with a 26.2% field goal percentage. It's no surprise that the Lakers failed all their matches. The Lakers couldn't quite deal with Houston (80-99) and Boston (74-88) in Vegas.
