On Sunday night, the Cavs vs. Lakers live streaming online and televised matchup will be under the spotlight with LeBron James in Los Angeles.

Here’s the latest game preview including odds, start time, television channels, and how to watch the Cavs vs. Lakers live streaming online.
As Lonzo Ball and the Los Angeles Lakers (29-36) host tonight’s meeting with the Cavs, they’ve gone 6-4 over their last 10 games. L.A. also holds a slight home court advantage at 16-15 this season, but they’re coming off a 125-116 loss to the Denver Nuggets this past Friday.

While Odds Shark reported that Cleveland first opened as a favorite of 3.5 points, they’re now settling around two points on the spread. For the moneyline, the Cavs range from -125 to -145 with the home team anywhere from +105 to +125 depending on the sportsbook. Tonight’s over/under number is at 229 points for the complete game as of this report.
The Cavaliers bring a dominant straight up record into the game, as they’ve gone 8-2 over the last 10 meetings. However, they’re just 3-7 against the spread in those games. Cleveland is also just 5-13 ATS in their last 18 road games. The over has hit in nine of the 10 meetings, making it seem like that’s the bet to consider tonight.

There is also regional TV coverage with Fox Sports Ohio for Cleveland viewing regions and Spectrum SportsNet for the Los Angeles viewing regions.
