baldur · 02-01-13, 04:14 PM

Even without howard, they should be atleast -4 or -5 here. The wolves team is depleted with many injuries. WTF am I missing here?

They've gotten Pekovic and Shved back. I believe the only guys missing from Minnesota are Roy, Love and Budinger.

And you know why the line is low

because they suck

MP123 · 02-01-13, 04:18 PM

They're 5-16 on the road . As a laker fan , they shouldn't even be fave on the rd

I think it's reflecting a little of the phoenix loss, combined with howard being out and players returning for Minnesota.

Line just went to 2, though.

Minnesota has everyone back aside from roy and budinger (out for the season) and of course the Love injury, which is a long term one.

But the shorter injuries, guys are back from.

Minnesota finally beats LA tonight. Already popped Minnesota +2 earlier

Kobe is playing like his old self, nuff said.

This game has "stay away" written all over it.

So then why is it his "old self" is 3 games ago old?

TwoWays · 02-01-13, 04:56 PM

Because it was when they started their 3 game win streak. The larger point is that if Kobe goes Kobe, they are not as good.

MP123 · 02-01-13, 04:58 PM

Kobe gets his team involved first half and goes mamba mode 2nd half... Lakers is the play today imo

Vinnie Paz · 02-01-13, 05:13 PM

Twolves ML guys

Don't get trapped in for the 87167th time.

convick · 02-01-13, 05:16 PM

Number looks right. Clippers were -4.5 without Paul.

How many road games in a row have these bums lost? 6, 7, 8??

SportsTerminator · 02-01-13, 05:31 PM

When is the last time Minnesota won a game...

riffraff24 · 02-01-13, 05:43 PM

Why even bet this game? Lakers can win by 20 or lose by 10 and no one will be surprised either way.

cdubz · 02-01-13, 05:51 PM

Take the over. Lakers gonna run and gun with Howard out and they gonna jack up the 3s all nightlong
