LAL +1.5 is a GIFT!!

This line looks like this because the Lake show got smacked by the Bucks who were 5 point dogs at home last night.

Lakers are horrible on the road, BUT count on them to win at least one away game on this road trip they're playing.

This is the head to head record between the wolves and lakers for the last couple of seasons:

2011-03-19 Los Angeles Lakers Minnesota Timberwolves 106-98

2011-03-02 Minnesota Timberwolves Los Angeles Lakers 79-90

2010-11-20 Minnesota Timberwolves Los Angeles Lakers 95-112

2010-11-10 Los Angeles Lakers Minnesota Timberwolves 99-94

2010-04-10 Minnesota Timberwolves Los Angeles Lakers 88-97

2010-03-20 Los Angeles Lakers Minnesota Timberwolves 104-96

2009-12-12 Los Angeles Lakers Minnesota Timberwolves 104-92

2009-03-07 Los Angeles Lakers Minnesota Timberwolves 110-90

2009-02-23 Minnesota Timberwolves Los Angeles Lakers 108-111

Lakers 1-9 on the road. Plus they will not beat a single team with a top 5 PG in the league this year. The Lakers are literally playing 4 on 5 right now with Fisher on the court. Kobe is the team's leading assist man on the team, somethings not right about that. Timberwolves should run them out of the building. Lakers still being overvalued Twolves should be -3.5

have you watched the lakers on road this year ?

I agree with the Lakers still being over-valued.

I had Bucks ML last night!

But whenever I see a head-to-head record like this...

it gives me reason to believe that the Lakes will be motivated enough to sustain a lead for most of this game.

I know how bad the Lakers away record is... but how long can a good team lose on the road for before they wake up? I'm not saying the lakers are good by any means but they are too the NBA what the Red Sox are to the MLB; a dynasty team.

Also they Wolves are 5-6 so far this year.

I'll take the Lakes tonight but BOL to all others.

I think they win by 5.

They will continue to lose on the road until they get a PG first and some bench players second. Kobe and Bynum can't carry the load every day, maybe at home but not on the road. + this is a b2b for them and Twolves have the chance to show they are a playoff team.

For me this line is still a bargain.

And I do believe that the Wolves will try and make a statement. They are a great team this year.

But my gut is saying Lakers tonight and my analysis is leading me to believe Lakers are on it tonight.

BOL League

I greatly respect your analysis and capping skills

Lakers have been doing it for so long w/o a pg so it's nothing new.  And I don't think Minnesota is "trying" to prove that they are a playoff team to the Lakers.  I mean why do the Lakers care if they are or aren't? 

I can't remember ever remember a time when Minnesota was a favorite against the Lakers in Minnesota.  You might have to go back to KG and Marbury days.  Even then I'm not sure. 

Lakers win by 4.

Both of these teams are incredibly different this year from their prior incarnations. Taking their records from past years is worth about as much knowing the price of apples in China.

Their past records playing against each other are irrelevant.Rambis was a terrible coach.They played no defense last year.Their points per game allowed is way down from last year.They had no Rubio or Williams.They are really playing great under Adelman.However they are weak in the post.They are weak at small forward.Love struggles against the Lakers.Their bigs give him trouble.To much length.I think it will be a close game.The Wolves are not a great home team.It is a tough game to predict.I am going to put a few units on the Lakers.And hope for the best.
