Brooklyn Nets vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Prediction, Probable Starting Lineups, And Injury Updates (March 10, 2025)

The Brooklyn Nets vs. Los Angeles Lakers will be held at 6:30 p.m. ET on Monday, March 10, 2025. This matchup will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The Lakers recently played against the Boston Celtics in a highly anticipated game at TD Garden. Unfortunately for the Lakers, they lost, with a final score of 111-101, which ended their eight-game winning streak. On the other hand, the Nets just competed against the Charlotte Hornets in an intense game at Spectrum Center. Despite D’Angelo Russell’s standout performance, the Nets fell short, losing the game with a final score of 105-102.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Prediction

Despite their recent setback against the Celtics, the Lakers have experienced a significant boost in their overall performance, marked by an impressive eight-game winning streak prior to that loss. This positive stretch has elevated their position in the Western Conference standings, where they currently occupy the 3rd spot. With a record of 40 wins and 22 losses in the ongoing 2024-25 NBA season, it’s clear that their prospects for reaching the postseason appear very promising. Their gameplay has shown considerable improvement, showcasing strong teamwork and strategic execution.

In stark contrast, the Brooklyn Nets find themselves in a challenging predicament as the season unfolds. Currently, they sit in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings, and their performance has been far from satisfactory. With a dismal record of 21 wins against 42 losses, the team is grappling with a troubling seven-game losing streak. This stretch not only reflects their struggles on the court but also places them in a tense and uncertain situation as they strive to turn their season around and improve their chances of playoff contention.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Probable Starting Lineups

Here are the probable starting lineups for both teams.

Brooklyn Nets

  • D’Angelo Russell
  • Keon Johnson
  • Cam Thomas
  • Ziaire Williams
  • Nicolas Claxton

Talking COVID-19, vaccination and the NBA with In the Bubble’s Andy Slavitt
Much of the conversation ahead of the 2021-22 NBA season circulating in the NBA media has revolved around something that isn’t necessarily a basketball conversation, though it has pervaded virtually all aspects of contemporary life. We are of course talking about COVID-19 vaccination in the league, and in particular some especially vaccine-resistant players who occupy positions of considerable influence. But rather than making the story about those individuals, the hosts of the “Celtics Lab” podcast Justin Quinn, Cam Tabatabaie, and Alex Goldberg dug deep in the hopes of re-setting the narratives a bit surrounding how we should engage those persons and the issue of vaccine hesitancy (and more pernicious anti-vaccine sentiments) in society more generally. It can be hard for some of us in the media to see Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, and others resistant to making choices for the common good, but a steady stream of fan and media ire is almost certainly going to do little to change their minds on how they can best use their platforms (and bodies) to make us all safer (and teams perhaps more successful) in the midst of a pandemic.  To that end, we were incredibly lucky to have Andy Slavitt of the “In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt” podcast to talk on the intersection of public health in an era of COVID-19, the NBA and society at large. Andy has worked with the last three presidents on issues of public health, most recently serving as President Biden’s COVID-19 advisor. We hope you find this podcast as informative and helpful in coping with and making progress on this viral scourge affecting all of our lives as we did.

With free agency kicking off at 6pm Friday, November 20th and Gordon Hayward a free agent, we recruited The Athletic’s (and former Celtics Wire editor) Jared Weiss to help us sort through the unfolding chaos that is the Boston Celtics’ offseason. With Celtics stalwarts Brad Wanamaker, Semi Ojeleye and Enes Kanter likely on the move, Vincent Poirier on his way to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Tacko Fall and Tremont Waters likely to stay with the team, incoming draft picks and incomplete trades to consider on top of Hayward’s critical situation, there’s a lot of things on the plate to digest.
