RECORD YTD 20-9 (.689)
SIDES 14-6 (.700)
TOTALS 6-3 (.666)
Lost my second in a row here last night, as Miami faltered badly at home.
Lakers will try to right their faltering ship (4-4 SU 0-8 ATS) as they face the 3 point loving Boston Celtics at Staples. Both teams top 10 in offensive FG% and defensive FG%.
Lakers defend the 3point shot at home better than any one in the league and will be stressing defense to make things happy again in Laker land. Remember that long home win streak earlier in the season, seems far removed. Jackson will be reminding team that their glory lies in the defensive side of the court.
Lakers step up to the foul line more than any one but their freethrow pct is near the bottom thanks to Shaq. Lakers 4-10 to the UNDER at home
These two teams average 189' points combined from their road/home stats.
Why the astronomical 207' total in this game? Well these two have combined for an 11-1 OVER record when meeting each other, (5-0 OVER at Staples), last 12 games. Linemaker knows that public and touts love outrageous technical streaks and he has to compensate accordingly.
An 18 point compensation from that very raw 189' seems a tad too much.
UNDER 207'
