I mean, come on, Lakers haven’t covered as a double-digit favorite since February 25th! They are 16-37 ATS in their last 53 games as a home favorite of 11 points or greater.

And Hornets are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Los Angeles. That last win in L.A. can only give them confidence to keep the pressure on. Even Phil talked about how hard it is to contain CP, adding that "no matter how Lakers approach it, Paul can find a way to exploit (Lakers D), either with a quick drive or a savvy pass."

I don't doubt that Lakers can get the much needed win here, but covering that much chalk for a playoff game against a team that has covered pretty well as large dogs is a far fetch. Unless you buy the zig-zag theory. Doesn't seem to be holding up thus far for these playoffs.

New Orleans +11.5 is my strong play of the day. Thoughts??

I like it. Now I see it's up to 12 on SBG Global.

Bounced back but not enough. Loving the dogs and all these points so far!
