Why and how on earth are Lakers favorites against the Heat?
Really didn't expect that...
 
Unless the Lakers have suddenly learned how to play D that line is hard to comprehend... The harder it looks the more likely it is in the NBA generally but by the same token this Laker side has been over valued a number of times this season... Hard to say whether the books are begging for heat money or suddenly think LA has turned the corner.
 
Would point out that
Miami is 3-7 ATS and SU last 10 as dogs
Mimi at Orlando

How much of this is Howard
Plus Kobe is playing his best in probably at least 3 years
Pau gives the Lakers some depth.
 
Dam where my piston$ fans at? We got an early degen thirsty thursday special going off @ 3pm!!!! 5 with a 197
 
I will point out one things about the London game. I played Over 193 yesterday already for one simple reason. Two seasons ago, Nets and Raptors played twice in London and twice regular games (in NJ and Toronto).
Both games in London sailed easily Over, both other games went Under.
This is a promotion game for the NBA in Europe. A show. Who wants to see 95 - 93 show?
Just like ASG, this one should be 100+ points score for each team.
 
Not clear. Minn now healthy and rested. ClippersTHE DAY:
The Clippers are 0-14-1 ATS (-7.1 ppg) since February 06, 2004
on the road with at least one day of rest past the first five
games of the season after a win in which they shot at least ten
three-pointers and made at least half of them.

Been up late boys?
 
I think that maybe the best value on LAL - Heat game is Under or Under TT Heat.

As for the game, I like Lakers defense. Dwight starting to play a lot better. Artest is my MVP for the Lakers season so far. On both sides of the court is just the old Artest.
Kobe's change for beign off ball defender to taking rival's best guard been proving itself.
Lakers actually stopped rival team below their total on 3 out of last 4 games.
Heat scored over today's total only 4 times the entire season on the road.

If Lakers players will make their open three pointers, Lakers will roll - the same can be said about the Heat.

GO LAKERS!
 
Major battle.
Killersports says Miami wins
Happy Hippo says


The Lakers are 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS in their last ten appearances as a home favorite playing in a TNT game. They are 0-2 SU so far this year when appearing on TNT, including their home opener. Tonight they get an unrested Heat team that has also faced recent struggles. The Heat have not been great on the road this year. In their last eight road games they are 3-5 SU and 2-6 ATS. Since last season, the Heat are 8-9 SU and 6-11 ATS on the road after a road win (where they were an average favorite of 5). They are 2-6 SU and ATS this season on the road against teams with a winning record. I realize the Lakers do not have a winning record right now, but let’s face it, there are a bunch of teams with winning records that you would still rather play than the Lakers. It speaks more to the level of competition, and I have to believe tonight the Lakers will be very competitive. You could argue that the Mavericks are now a quality opponent, but before that, you would have to go back to the Heat beating the Thunder to find a quality win in their schedule.

Teams playing their fourth game in six days when playing as a dog on the road against the Lakers are 1-9 SU (-13 ppg) and 3-7 ATS since the 2006 season. Western conference opponents that are playing at home with more rest than their opponent as a favorite, when their opponent is from the Eastern conference and has a winning record, are 19-4 SU (+9.2) and 18-5 ATS in the last 23.

The Heat are in trouble inside tonight. I bet the Blazers against the Heat about a week ago for the same reason, and tonight is an even bigger matchup problem. Howard has 26.5 points and 15 rebounds in his last two games. He averages 12.6 rebounds per game. In his last four matchups against Bosh, he has pulled down an average of 19 rebounds. The Lakers are the second best rebounding team in the league, and the Heat are second to last. The Lakers should have a lot of second chance points tonight on the offensive glass. Howard should be able to dominate Bosh or Joel Anthony inside. The Lakers have made a concerted effort to get the ball to Howard more in the last two games, and it has paid off. They have been moving the ball extremely well. Teams playing at home as a favorite when they had at least 30 assists in their two previous games are 42-9 SU (+10.8 ppg) and 34-16-1 ATS when their opponent is coming off a win.

If you look at the teams the Heat have lost to this year, they really struggle with teams that have good front courts. There are fifteen teams in the league that have a positive differential in-the-paint. 9 of the Heat’s 12 losses this season have come from these teams. The Lakers rank 9th, which is pretty impressive considering they have been missing Howard for a few games and Gasol for many.

The Lakers last two wins have not been super impressive due to their opponents, but they are 5-2 SU on the year as a home favorite against teams with a winning record. Western conference teams at home as a favorite when they are more rested than their opponents are 19-4 SU (+9.2 ppg) and 18-5 ATS in the last 23 against Eastern conference teams with winning records. The Lakers playing as a favorite in their third home game after two wins are 21-0 SU (+15.1 ppg) since the 2010 season.

The West is still... the Best.


Lakers -2
 
Do not like the trend usage of Killersports. Focusing on Laker results from the past on point guard assits seems a little lame with Nash. But they get there a lot. I am on the Lakers

But you like the trend that the Clippers are 0-14-1 ATS after one day of rest after the first 5 games of the season in which they shot at least 10 3 pointers and made half of them, after half of the team ate eggs for breakfast, a quarter had pancakes, and the others went w/o breakfast, after spending the night at a local club in which the starters each did 3 shots of tequila after drinking 2 beers? lolololol

Forgive me if I find that funny.
 
There are usually only a handful of games. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens 10 times season. Thursday is notoriously a favorites day along with Tuesday
 
Lakers must focus and turn the ball over. Even if that means taking fewer risks with difficult passes.
14 points off 7 turnovers for the Heat...
 
I like things that work frequently. Killersports is a proven winner.

Sorry, I must have been confused. Didn't you write "do not like the trend usage of Killersports"? I completely missed your point I guess....sorry man.

There's usually only 2 games on Thursday, sometimes they play 3. Either way, all favs covering on a Thursday probably happens quite frequently (to the original question).
 
Lakers would be winning by 6+ if not for giving the ball to the Heat on the regular...
 
Lakers fortunate to be up 1 going into the half.

Seeing Lakers -1 for the 2nd half line...
 
The bad news for the Lakers is the 0 - 5 in Heat column from three point range. Assuming that those shots are going to get in sooner or later, Lakers need to take care of the ball better and make some runs.
 
The good news is the Lakers turned the rock over 16 times and are up 1. Joey C gonna play a part in this game...
 
Just feels like the lakers gotta win this game. I'm already on them for the game and ill let it ride
