Lakers only 6-12 on the road.....

Just dominated the Heat on national tv.....

Kobe, Gasol, Bynum vs Prince, Monroe, Stuckey........No contest right?

BUT......

Pistons with 2 days rest.....

Everybody is up for LA.....

Line opens up super cheap to make it easy to nab the Lakeshow......

Total around 186.....

Bet the Lakers and do this  the whole game......

Det 92 Lakers 86

Detroit and the under for this guy tomorrow

You have been hot with the dogs but this one is no good. Where do you want lines makers to open a 6-12 team on the road?

Lakes win for sure prob cover too. Yes that's Kobe in my avatar.

Made more money betting against lakers on road this year than any other team probably but this is not a good spot.

I should add that the pistons rested this year have been less than stellar at 1-3 ATS, meanwhile the Lakers on 1 day are nearly .500 at 8-9 ATS

95% of the public and the majority of those placing bets will think the same thing.

No way Kobes crew loses. No way.

Line should have been 8 or 9 if you want equal action. At -4.5 or 5, who do you think most of the money is going on?

Vegas has been giving gifts away all year. At first glance -5 is begging for lal money. I feel the fix will b in on this game or vegas is gonna pay out their asses AGAIN on this gift of a line

I don't think vegas gives away "gifts".  Vegas can't always be right cuz the NBA isn't fixed.  But you can sure bet they'll inflate the line when they know the public is going to pound a particular side hard - again they can't always be right but I would bet money that they are > 50%.  Personally, i'd rather just bet other games where I feel i can hit a higher win % than these temptign lines.

That being said you may find me on the lakers tomorrow lol.

Fwiw lakers have had a tough road schedule with most of those teams they played being playoff worthy.

Could this game end up being like the jazz/cavs game?

Lakers win 33% of games on the road and Det wins 45% at home. Not that big a surprise if Det takes this

it's the 2nd half, this is go time, the Lakers really do think they've found something that works after the win against the Heat, I really doubt they blow this one, I believe they cover as well, don't expect many let downs from the LakeShow from here on out. The Masked Mamba wants Ws.

If it were only as easy as Kobe wants W's. If they had 4 more of him on the team they would always get W's.......too bad!

Lakers ML is the only safe play in this situation.

Perception is that the lakers are suddenly an amazing squad. IS that right? You guys actually expect world peace to put up 20 on a consistent basis? They are playing on road, odd start time, cross country trip? They still have the worst starting point guard, and worst bench in the league. Ill take the pistons with the points tomorrow, i would not be surprised if they win outright though.
