    Lakers @ T-Wolves
    I'm liking the UNDER 216 and here are some quick reasons why. I would appreciate any thoughts


    The T-Wolves are going through a small rough patch, losing two games in-a-row. Kevin Love is doing all he can to keep the team up to par, averaging 33.7 points since Minnesota big man went down just four or five games ago. How much longer can the pressure on Love continue? Well, it's going to continue but how much longer can he keep it up? The Lakers have allowed 100 points in their last 14 games, and I expect that to continue, but how many points can L.A. force with out Pau in the line up? If you take a look at Gasol's numbers, he's playing the highest amount of minutes in the month of January than he has all season..He's also averaging 20 points per game this month, which is the most on the season than previous months; 5.3 more point on average to be exact. Expect Robert Sacre whose 1 year out of Gonzaga and Chris Kaman who averages 11.3ppg career, and who averaged 10.3ppg vs Minnesota last year to step in for Pau. While I'm talking about Laker bench players, a few week are expected to give it a go for the first time in weeks. Nash, Farmer, Blake, and possibly Xavier Henry. I don't expect these players to have huge games, and I'm sure everybody can agree on that. 20 minutes max, Nash might playing a bit more than that if they really need him. I could expect the Lakers to score roughly in the mid 90's and allow the T-Wolves to score in the hundreds, but this'll be a totally different team without Gasol, and the three front men returning. I like the under.

    Lakers already played three games without Pau this season and reached 100 pts in two of them. If they can keep making those threes they can reach a 100 pts again. They also cannot defend for sh.it: Love or Martin can drop 40+ tomorrow. So this is not a slam dunk, although I will probably not bet on the over. Also, Nash being back is not a good thing for Lakers scoring but a good thing for Wolves scoring: he has really being awful this season both on offense and defense. On the other hand, Blake might get it going again and carry the Lakers for a bit. I do not expect Farmar to play much more than 10 mins tomorrow, if at all.

      i think 216 is because the Lakers
      Twolves can really play defense at home, I think this game is about 205-207 type
      111-96

            Neither team plays defense, but both teams can shoot pretty horribly, and without pekovic, wolves might struggle a little to score. Was actually just looking at this and I think I'm gonna play it.

              Just take Phoenix, and walk away from the rest. BOL

                Do you guys expect Love to get 35 points + 20 rebs?
