    Los Angeles Lakers+6.5 against the Timberwolves

    Too many points for the Lakers at home.

    They have no one. I think they will get squashed.

    Lakers play better without Kobe
    All the schmucks will be chasing wolves hard after they get obliterated in the earlier games , especially coming off the big Portland win

    Can see it now. "They just beat the blazers no way they dont cover against the shitty Lakers!"

    wolves should destroy them i would of said lakers if blake or farmer were playing but they have NO point guard. Nick young aka swaggy p is their starting point guard and he leads the team in shots gl with that. Lakers were barely reaching 90 points WITH kobe they wont break 85 without them and lets not forget about how bad their d is

    Road Faves opening -5.5 (on 5dimes) are 5-0 this year ATS, but only around 50% the last 5.

    The Lakers haven't been a terrible play without Kobe in the Home Dog role this year, going 3-3. They beat Golden State and Detroit in similar situations early in the year.

    Lakers are pretty good look with the line moving up. I'd wait until right before game time and tease the Lakers up with some bowl / college hoops action into tomorrow.

    That's my take on this game.

    How could anyone back the lakers right now? You either take the wolves or nothing. Don't over think it.

    Lakers are more comfortable playing without Kobe right now. They played the first 25 games of the year without him. I like the spot at +6

    True they should be comfortable with it. I just don't see them hanging with minnesota's offense. Will be interesting nonetheless.

    Lakers were much better without Kobe, but with Blake or Farmar.
    Now, none of them is available. It seems like the book is waiting for the market to decide.
    I say Minnesota -6.5 is fair enough, even without Rubio.

    That's because of Rubio, if he plays will probably go back to 6.5

    I agree for 1 unit. At +190 I am willing to gamble the LAL scrubs bring an A+ effort.

    Keep waiting on the line to move and hit Minny at -5. Blake being out will be devastating and they don't really have anyone else to bring up the ball. NIck Young is going to be pressed into the role and I am sure that will change his effectiveness scoring the basketball.

    How about the Refs. Are they neutral too. Did you see what happened with GS and Spurs last night. Dont discount the Refs.

    if you think the Refs are actually trying to affect a game and determine the winner then why are you betting to begin with?

    Nick young and gasol really played great last night. Clutch 3's one after another. Just when it looked like minny was going to gain control they hit big money shots. Congrats!

    Wrong deduction. Most NBA players can make these shots if they want to. Thing is, Wolves were simply supposed to lose. Nothing to do with how good or bad either team is. This was the desired outcome to clean pockets

    I did not bet. Where did i tell you i was betting. I stopped with the GS game. Will not bet an NBA game again. I hate feeling robbed, or violated. You can go ahead since you have it all figured out

    After Kobe "hacksawed jim dugan" Steve Smith back in 2000, i swore I was done betting the NBA....13 yrs later I am still at it...lmaooooooooo.....you have to keep your eyes open for that one...watch who the team plays 2 or 3 games down the line...the previous games always set the Jig up for later....that's why its so easy to spot the fix in the NFL....NBA hardest to cap because its too many bloody games...lol
