Lakers +3 V San Antonio. **
Usually I see the san antonio matchup as one that the lakers have a hard time with when they are in the Great State of Texas, unfortunately the underlying issue here is that there will be no one to Guard Kobe Bryant tonight. Finley is out, which will put the Spurs in a position defensively, OR, they will bring manu on the floor early and often, which will make the Lakers Bench the Advantage.
I know it seems like a sucker bet, but how can we not bet on the lakers in this one?
UNDER 205.5 IN ORLANDO SACRAMENTO.***
OK so here you might doubt me, and I understand why, but hear me out first. I know I am betting an under on two explosive teams which are hard to bet against in the OVER UNDER, but Let me break this down for you.
Matchup:
As far as the matchup is concerned. orlando is going to have to spread out the Kings in order to take advantage of their inconsistent front court. This means that Dwight Howard will be getting the rock tonight and probably getting doubled. Normally I would say this will cater to foul trouble, but honestly tonight i think whole heartedly that the Kings will limit howards GOOD shots to a minimum.
On the other side of the coin, the Kings have been allowing evans to let loose and shoot as much as his heart desires. This has worked well for the most part, making the kings a possible playoff team in the latter part of the season, but I simply feel he will not be able to push the scoring overboard for two reasons. One, Pietrus is an excellent defender, as is Vince Carter and they will be sharing that duty all night. the second matchup reason is, I believe the young star has a lot to learn, and some of his rudimentary go to moves will be exploited by this top caliber team..
SO WHY NOT BET MAGIC?
WHY BET UNDER?
BET under also because these two teams have lost a combined 10 out of their last 12 respective games, mostly due to poor production in their frontcourts and shitty shooting.
Granted neither team's defense is stellar, but this line is showing UNDER UNDER UNDER all DAY LONG BABY!!
LA CLIPPERS +5 V MEMPHIS GRIZZLES ***
Tonight the CLippers will win their fifth game in a row. The Clippers have had their best player, Eric gordon, return to the floor and have been putting up BUCKETS ever since. They have won their last four games including wins over MIAMI and THE LAKERS, and have shown an ability to score consistently with Gordon Back in the lineup.
I am a huge fan of Memphis, but I think this team presents a tough matchup for them and i dont think memphis's offense is working like it should right now after a 1-2 performance their last three games.
RECORD
