How are the Lakers 10.5 favorites???? Vegas should be taking a beating on this one but they won't because the public for some reason still bets this excuse for team.

They nearly lost to the lowly Hornets yesterday and have had at least a dozen other games like this where they have been favored heavily for no reason. This team sucks!

If you're gonna make 1 play today go LARGE on GSW. Maybe even a small sprinkle on the gsw ML.

I would not be shocked at all if Golden State wins this by double digits.

i checked lalaland history this season... they have NEVER won while laying double digit spread.

When they give a small spread, they've managed to win by double digits. but when they give 10 or above points, 0 to date.

of course, it could change... but the odds isn't in favor of that one.

in all honesty i agree with lakers as double digits favs. as a lakers fan i rarely take them, however this is a very good spot to take them. bryant played an awful game, and the rest of the team didnt play with any emotion til the end. GSW has huge problems with interior dominant teams. Lakers have owned them, and they will win by 15 tonight. gl

The 10.5 is there for a reason. Just my 2 cents.

Look at the trends. 0-5ats last 5 games, 0-7ats last 7 home games     Lakers are 1-5ats in there last 6 Sunday games. Warriors 4-0ats last 4 games these teams have played.      Plus yea they barely won as 12.5 point favorites yesterday.   Sounds like they're due. Kobe ain't going 0 points threw 3 quartes again. This spread will have people all over warriors, Ben teasing them up to +16, +20 whatever.   I say lakers coer even that.  103-82 final.   Blowout city.

I don't know if the Lakers cover or not but I know one thing and that is the Warriors will not beat LA. Warriors are done this season. Fade them every game on the ml.

This line should never be -10.5, for various reasons. People are getting the wrong idea with this game, and what will be a "sharp" play from the public, will be a slaughter. You really think Kobe will shoot like he did yesterday again? Think again.

Yesterday I knew the Lakers were getting way to many points, the Lakers had almost no chance of covering aginst a Pesky Hornet's team..

But today is more realistic, if you watched the "Infamous Game" where Bynum shot the "3" and got benched the Lakers were rolling up DD'S throughout the 1st half...

But after the Benching the whole complexity of that game changed & allowed the Warriors to stay in the game..

So not only do you have Kobe coming out make up for yesterday, but you would anticipate Bynum wanting to come out and play a good game as well...

lakers will KILL the warriors on the boards, just like they did a few days ago in oakland..... warriors hung around in the second half becasue of good shooting, laker turnovers, lakers executing like box on offense and the bynum benching.....

.... if you are betting the warriors this game, you are counting on them to shoot well and hit alot of 3's.... hard to bet on a team when you know they are going to get killed on the boards imo

the perception is that kobe will go off after a horrible night, that's why the line is high. i think lakers win by 20+ but its not because of kobe.

Lakers are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games. May be they are due for a ATS win tonight, but i will not lay points on Lakers, they might just beat the Warriors by 2 or 3 pts and go away with smiles in their faces.

The thing is, if the Lakers hadn't sucked the last few games and the B2B factor, this line would have been at least 3 points higher. Kobe did what i expected, but still they didn't cover. But i see them winning by big numbers against the Nets on Tuesday.

Make that 0-8 after tonight, fading lakers ATS have been  eight in a row.
